Windows NT did not seem to have the same problems, so if I had a choice between 95 and NT, I would develop and run Perl/Tk on Windows NT. Here is a list of some of the problems I ran into while I was testing Perl/Tk applications under Windows 95 (note that these are not necessarily reproducible 100% of the time; I just wanted you to be aware that I ...
