Weird, your example tested fine until I clicked one of the switches, then got a similar error to you. However, I noticed the error didn't occur when clicking the checkbox for 'g'. The way subroutine call for this event is handled differently, so I swapped the following....

< $check_switch_i->bind('<Button-1>', \&button_run('now'));
< $check_switch_m->bind('<Button-1>', \&button_run('now'));
< $check_switch_s->bind('<Button-1>', \&button_run('now'));

> $check_switch_i->bind('<Button-1>', sub { button_run('now') });
> $check_switch_m->bind('<Button-1>', sub { button_run('now') });
> $check_switch_s->bind('<Button-1>', sub { button_run('now') });

...and the bug has gone. I've no idea why though. Anyone?

Cheers, Rob

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
