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.
