Since this is a similar issue, I decided to continue this same email thread.
Running the Fixed FPS from pg. 42 in section 5-2, I receive the following
error:
Illegal division by zero at C:\p42_5-2_FixedFPS.pl line 83.
The line referenced reads:
$FPS = int(($frames * 100) / $delta_time );
This doesn't happen immediately and the program will usually run for a few
seconds (5-10) before crashing and displaying the message. I verified that
my code matches the code in the SDL Manual.
I was running this without any command-line arguments when this first
occurred. I then tried with ARGV[0] = 60 and the Divide by Zero occurs
within a second of the program starting. I tried ARGV = (60 , 60) and the
result is the same as ARGV[0] = 60. I also tried ARGV = (500, 300) with the
same results.
Hope this helps and I've attached the code.

I remembered encountering an issue the first go through the manual, but
wasn't really aware of the community at that time. I'm going back
through
the most recent version and came across the following 'typo'. I don't
know
why, but Im inclined to blame garu.
pg. 33 - Remove the 'my' in line 51. $brush_color is a global variable.
51 my $brush_color = $key_name if $key_name =~ /^nd$/;
The program will run, but the user will not be able to change the brush
color as long as 'my' is in there.
