perl application running in FVWM

joybee2015 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello, Perl masters,

I need help here. I am using FVWM window manager. When I ran the perl application, the window was displayed in other workspace. How can I make it diaplay in the current window/workspace. I have no idea where to start. Setting DISPLAY variable doesn't help.

Thanks!

Is this a GUI application (e.g. Tk?), how are you launching this? Are you trying to specify which desktop to display on within Perl?	[reply]

Marto, thanks! It's a simple GUI application which displays some messages. I just ran the perl script from the terminal and the main window was not displayed on the current screen. First I thought the window was not displayed. Later I realized that it was displayed on another workspace.	[reply]

OK, Silly me! I found where the problem is. The program was specified X and Y coordinates.	[reply]
