As you just saw, it works for me on my iBook. However, Larry is
using an older machine running on a different CPU architecture and an
older version of MacOS.

I've seen problems like this before, and I'm trying to remember if I
ever saw them on one of my PPC Macs or not. I don't think so. On
the 68k, on rare occasion MacPerl would become confused and either
not find "new" or find the wrong one. (I notice you define lots of
packages and several sub new's all in one file). Larry, try 1.36 and
see if it works. If not, changes those two lines to
my $hand = Games::Cards::Hand->new("Player $i");
my $Undo = Games::Cards::Undo->new;
As I recall, I had to at one point make similar changes to the
MacPerl port of LWP.
