Subject: Re: XMLTV compile makes buggy "tv_grab_na_dd --configure"
Hi Kirk,

Kirk Morrow wrote:

tv_grab_na_dd --configure would always crash on the
password prompt.  After 3 days of tracking this bug
down, I added
use Term::ReadKey;

with all the other use statements.  This fixed the
problem.
I think this may have been because there was a missing use Term::ReadKey from the XMLTV::Ask::Term module. This problem has been fixed in CVS, and the fix will be in the next release.

Why does tv_grab_na_dd compile successfully without
adding this neccessary line?
As far as I understand it, this kind of problem is not caught at compile time in Perl, but at runtime. Perhaps someone could correct me if I'm wrong.

Best wishes,

Andy
