This problem only existed for several minutes on my machine, then I fixed
it by adding 'g' to regexp in Module.pm and Tracker.pm.  But I needed to
fix it in Module.pm.in instead.  Ouch...

Ok. But it actually worked without this update on my machine. :)

P.S. cvs diff/commit on my machine takes ages and timeouts (supposedly
when huge ChangeLog is edited locally), so I need to move the files to
another machine where cvs flies, but on that machine I can't run X...

Almost.

No method add_defaultErrorHandler in FVWM::Module::Tk=HASH(0x9f8ae10) as 
guessed from FVWM::Module::Tk::addDefaultErrorHandler at 
/home/ss/fvwm/cvs.0/install.0/share/fvwm/perllib/FVWM/Module.pm line 684.

FvwmTabs should be updated to the new API now.

Hi Mikhael,

H, my previous reply seems to have gone astray ...

Almost:

No method add_defaultErrorHandler in FVWM::Module::Tk=HASH(0x9f8ae10) as 
guessed from FVWM::Module::Tk::addDefaultErrorHandler at 
/home/ss/fvwm/cvs.0/install.0/share/fvwm/perllib/FVWM/Module.pm line 684.

Ok. I updated FvwmTabs to the new API.

Updates in perllib API

[Mikhael Goikhman]

Everyone who uses perllib please be aware of the updates in API. See
the man pages ("fvwm-perllib man") and examples in tests/perl/README.

However the basic old API (for main classes) should continue to work,
i.e. for example addHandler or eventLoop are automatically dispatched
to the canonical add_handler and event_loop methods.

I didn't touch FvwmTabs on purpose, to demonstrate that most of the old
API continues to work. Anyway, it is better to update user modules.

Mikhael.
