Dude Monks,

I am having a little problem, I want to be able to have a script which has both a tk gui and a text interface. However if I use "use" to load Tk perl chokes when it tries to load/compile the module on machines where it is not installed; I have since switched to require (not really knowing what it does), and it kinda works is require just like an #include???? Is this the proper solution??? Or do ya' all monks have something proper and elegant????

sub buildgui
  {
    (my $fname)=@_;
    require Tk;
    require Tk::FileSelect;

    my $mw=MainWindow->new;
    $mw->title("DNA to Protein");

    my $LoadDialog = $mw->FileSelect();

    $LoadDialog->configure();
