At one point Alan Fry indicated to me on this list that Mac::Menus could only handle menu IDs in the 128-255 range (actually he suggested 200-255 was the safest). As I recall he indicated that this was due to a bug in Menus.xs, but for the life of me I can't find the mail (Google search of the old bumppo.net archive is no help).
Since a quick test shows this 8-bit limiation is still the case in MacPerl 5.6.1r1, I'm wondering if this really is a bug, an OS limitation (seems unlikely) or if my memory is going.
