Perl TK

Khurana
Khurana over 14 years ago

Hi,

I am calling a perl (TK) script using a menu pick inside a tool and the TK dialog pops up fine the first time the perl TK script is invoked after launching the tool, but subsequent invocations of the script do not pop up the TK window - any ideas as to what may be causing this

Here's the script:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Tk;

my $mw = MainWindow->new;
$mw->title("Hello World");
$mw->Button(-text => "Exit", -command => sub {exit})->pack;
MainLoop;

Thanks,
Varun

    In your first post, you didn't even mention how you were launching the process.

    In your second you've given a faint glimpse of the details, but still not enough to give anyone a chance to help.

    Try to put yourself in the position of the reader of these posts. They do not have the benefit of knowing what's in your head, or even being able to see your code. Would you be able to answer a question under such circumstances?

    I don't mean to be rude, but many here are willing to help - but we can't perform miracles! We might be able to have a wild guess at what the problem is, but that's not a very efficient way of working, nor terribly likely to succeed.

    Kind Regards,

    Andrew
