Hi folks.
Looks like the current texfont is a bit broken right now. I believe it's
the introduction of the "if ($IsWin32) " block: the pragma "use
Win32::API" doesn't seem to work within the conditional block.
Furthermore, I'm not sure the else block that follows comes to a sane
ending, so I was unsure of the fix.
I take it the change was to address embedded spaces on windows systems?
I'm all in favour of tying up loose x-platform ends (esp those I may have
left in my wake), but I think there's been a step backwards.
Cheers,
adam

That still didn't work, but it was a lot clearer to figure out what to do.
So with a little help from the Camel book, I figured out how to wrap the
conditional 'use' in a way that works (well, compiles) on my (non-Win32)
system at least:
my $IsWin32;
BEGIN {
$IsWin32 = ($^O =~ /MSWin32/i);
if ($IsWin32) {
require Win32::API; import Win32::API;
}
}
I'm sure there are Perl wizards out there who know how to do this sort of
thing much more elegantly.
Cheers,
adam
