The plot thickens.
I've got a very helpful tip about Berrybrew (
https://github.com/stevieb9/berrybrew ), which is a Windows analog to
Perlbrew, allowing multiple versions of Strawberry Perl to coexist on the
same system. I've installed Glib (1.305), Gtk2 (1.2498), AnyEvent (7.13),
AnyEvent::HTTP (2.23) on all versons between 5.12 and 5.24, and ran the
test script on all of them. 5.16.3 and below works, 5.18.4 and above fails.
The following test program demonstrates the issue even more dramatically:
##################
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use feature qw/say/;
use Gtk2 -init;
use AnyEvent;
use AnyEvent::HTTP;
my $w = Gtk2::Window->new();
my $l = Gtk2::Label->new();
$l->set_text("init");
$w->add($l);
$w->show_all();
my $wa; $wa = AnyEvent->timer(after => 2.0, interval => 2.0, cb => sub {
http_request('GET',
'http://www.fsz.bme.hu/cgi-bin/ltime',
sub {
my ($response_body, $response_headers) = @_;
$l->set_text($response_body);
}
);
$l->set_text("ready");
});
Gtk2->main();
#######################
On Perl 5.16.3 and below it fetches the data from the network and displays
it in a window, on 5.18.4 and above it hangs.
I've looked at the perldelta docs for 5.18 but nothing obvious stood out.
Now what?
