What version of NetBSD you are using? I got plenty of errors. The strangest
thing was, that miniperl echoed every output twice, but not line after line,
instead when the whole script was through, the output was printed again.
This way the sources for the dynamic modules in ext/* were twice as long
as they should be. The final program didn't work correct as well, although
about 75% of the tests were ok. Very strange. I use NetBSD Prerelease 1.0
Beta (released end of August, I think).

By the way: Did you compile tkPerl? Has anybody done this? Is it necessary
to have libtcl and libtk as shared libraries, or can you compile the usual
static libraries into a dynamic module?
