Thanks, I've corrected the problem. The referenced line in the error is below. This is part of "Widget.pm". After some frustration I thought back to the CPAN install of the Tk module and remembered that though everything finally installed it had some issues in finding some of the c headers required to compile. I thought I had corrected the problem and that the installation had completed successfully. But just in case I removed the module; insured all the required header and lib files were in the right directories and reloaded the module through CPAN. Now everthing appears to function correctly. I can't point to just what the issue was in the first installation but assume that one of compilations failed and only produced a warning and the install progressed.

255  sub _AutoloadTkWidget
256  {
257   my ($self,$method) = @_;
258   my $what = "Tk::Widget::$method";
259   unless (defined &$what)
260    {
261     require "Tk/$method.pm";
262    }
263   return $what;
264  }

Yes, I've searched a number of groups and found several references to this issue but no resolutions. I've contacted the folks who posted the questions in the past and was informed they never got it resolved and switched to TCL over Perl for Tk apps. I've searched through the DOCs and found nothing usefull. Finally did some cleanup by moving some required C header and lib files into local directories and did a reinstall and it now works. thanks for the help
