perl-tk no longer working

[Heinrich Rebehn]

Hi list,

I rolled my own perl-tk script for adding/removing users on our cluster 
and it has been running fine for some years now.
But when i wanted to use it today, it died with:

root at antsrv1 [~] # usrmgr/usrmgr.pl
[the usual messages about unused variables]
X Error of failed request:  BadAtom (invalid Atom parameter)
   Major opcode of failed request:  18 (X_ChangeProperty)
   Atom id in failed request:  0x1a6
   Serial number of failed request:  12
   Current serial number in output stream:  15

I have no clue what this could be. Other X11 apps run fine. I am logged 
in via ssh -X.
Versions:
FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE-p8
p5-Tk-804.027
perl-5.6.1_15       Practical Extraction and Report Language
perl-5.8.4          Practical Extraction and Report Language

2 versions of perl? Is this ok?

Does anyone have an idea?

Regards,
	Heinrich
