[MacPerl] 5.2.0r4b2 Bug? - icon/control dialog items

[lrtitze@inforamp.net (Les R. Titze)]

The following may indicate that there's a bug in the Mac-specific
dialog code in 5.2.0r4b2 (and 5.1.9r4)

OTOH it may be just me. If it's me, could someone point out my error(s)
to set me right as I need a way to add a popup menu to a dialog.

Thanks,

Les


#!perl -w
#
# Illustrates that something isn't quite right in the
# the item list code in dialogs.pm.
# 
# I discovered this when trying to add a popup to
# a dialog using kResourceControlDialogItem()
# Neither type of item will work for me!
#
# I've omitted the code which opened my resource file
# and substituted the system resource kCautionIcon()
# for this illustration.
#
# Tested on Duo 230, Quadra 800/68K and Quadra 800/PowerPC
# using MacPerl 5.1.9r4 and MacPerl 5.2.0r4b2
# under System 7.1, System 7.6.1 and System 8.1
