Any help would be appreciated...
A backtrace would be helpful: create Tk with debugging support (use

perl Makefile.PL OPTIMIZE=-g      #make a debugging Tk

), make sure that core dumps are written (e.g. by issuing

ulimit -c unlimited            #ensure you can get core dumps

), and for the backtrace you should try:


#gdb /path/to/perl  /path to core/        
#start gdb telling it to run perl and  
#where the core dump should go
gdb /usr/bin/perl ./core

(gdb prompt) run ./my_tk_program   #run your tk program

bt      # do the backtrace thru the core dump
