Hi! Right! Thanks a lot for your quick reply: my mistake indeed!
I had overseen the difference between '--filter' and '--modfilter'... (maybe a comment in the help: see the other one for each, could be helpful, but anyone there's no substitue for *carefully* RTFM...) Thanks a lot! Philippe PS: I'm sorry I missed the post you're mentioning, BTW, I don't seem to be able to get on the list archive right now (something local?). PPS: Yes, I had followed the dissusion which followed your introduction of Squish, and I was only expecting a small nudge: I am experiencing some difficulties packing a Perl::Tk script, and I am under the impression that from some critical amount of code on, Tk starts mis-behaving, which is what I was trying to look into...
