Fellow monks,

I have looked at the Tk faq and am still stumped on this one.

I'm trying to draw a canvas and place a gif file upon said canvas.

Going to the Tk faq and replacing the file, I have the following code:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Tk;
my $main = new MainWindow;
my $canvar = $main ->Canvas;
$canvar->pack;
my $file = 'c:\html\atomic\0.gif';
my $img = $canvar->Photo(
                         'IMG',
                         -file => Tk->findINC($file) );

    $canvar->create(
                    'image',0,0,
                    '-anchor' => 'nw',
                    '-image'  => $img );

    MainLoop;
   __END__

What I'm getting is a lovely canvas, but no picture.

At present I'm working on a windows machine and will have do demo this on a windows machine, so my questions are:

1. Do I have the file path wrong? Is perl not understanding that?
2. Is there something else wrong with the code there that I'm not seeing?
3. Why place the __END__ after MainLoop with nothing going on? I thought code placed below MainLoop would execute for cleanup or whatever anyway.

Thanks for any and all help on this one. Sometimes getting your interface right is worse than the underlying code to make it all work. :)
