To celebrate I decided it was time for a new perl image.

I listened to John?Cerney and I went to the Univ of Winnipeg repository and downloaded Tk804.026 and TableMatrix 1.2 and it works perfectly. I am still running perl 5.8.3 because I saw no need to tempt fate with another update that could cause a different error.

I think the solution is that the Univ of Winnipeg site compiled TableMatrix 1.2 with Tk804, so you should only need to download TableMatrix but I got Tk804 from them as weel just to be sure. Hopefully this will solve other people problems out there.

First off let me apologize for the stupid graphic on this post. I was getting a little lazy.

Now my question is for anyone who has used the MP3::Tag module on ID3v2 tags. At the moment when I use the module to edit a ID3v2 tag with an embedded cover art image I end up with a corrupt tag. I have not further diagnosed to see what version of ID3v2 it actually is. ID3v2 does have the ability to read these coverart frames so I am confused why this causes an error.

I have searched and found nothing, so if anyone knows the answer why this happens I would appreciate it.

I was told that perl/tk is a nice perl gui but is very badly documented. Well I can confirm I was told correctly.

Most recently I had some trouble with Tk:TableMatrix which is very poorly documented. The biggest annoyance I had was that TableMatrix is not compatible with ActivePerl 811 the most recent version. I found on a non english site that TableMatrix is compatible with 809. And I found that answer after a few hours of trying to figure out why my script would not run.

I also found out that when the documentation says to pass 4 values to -bd to describe {left right top bottom} border they really mean a refence to an array with four variables.

So I hope the posting of the following code will help others with TableMatrix.

I have received a couple of suggestions via email in regards to how best compare two text strings. In my most recent post I discussed a the String::Compare module. Since then I have found some additional modules that do similar things.

I did my own personal test and review of each of the following modules and a few additional concepts. Some of the included modules are: String::Similarity, Text::Levenshtein , String::Approx, Text::Similarity, Algorithm::HowSimilar, Compressed file concept.?

I recently posted a request for information about any perl modules out there that would be usefull in comparing two strings of text. I found String::Compare on cpan and I have been happy with its simplicity and speed.

I wrote a summary below of how the module works and what my opinions are.
