Sorry for the delay, but it's been hectic at work this week. I've attached (an image of) the error message. Sure enough, a 'dump' of the main window object shows that the timers don't get registered for some reason:
bless({
# tied Win32::GUI::Window
"-accel" => 41_681_429,
"-font" => -334_885_755,
"-handle" => 2_032_212,
"-minheight" => 595,
"-minwidth" => 850,
"-name" => "mw",
"-timers" => {},
"-type" => 0,
etc.
There's nothing strange about the declaration of the timers:
$mw->AddTimer("tmList",100000);
$mw->tmList->Kill();
$mw->AddTimer("tmLoop",100000);
$mw->tmLoop->Kill();
etc.
The same script runs with no problem on 1.01_01. There, the dump shows:
bless({
# tied Win32::GUI::Window
"-accel" => 25_036_785,
"-font" => "-1626733967",
"-handle" => 6_358_280,
"-minheight" => 595,
"-minwidth" => 850,
"-name" => "mw",
"-timers" => {
1 => "tmList",
2 => "tmLoop",
3 => "tmStatus",
4 => "tmYearVerify",
5 => "tmTrackVerify",
6 => "tmGenreVerify",
},
"-type" => 0,
etc.
I'll keep trying to narrow it down and will post back if I do.
