TK module weirdness

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

Good evening/morning, I am building a program in TK with dialog boxes that pop up on cue. When I compile, I get this warning: Can't locate auto/Tk/Text=HASH(0x22be670).al in @INC ??? I read the module script for this variable to no avail (though it was quite interesting....) Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It would help debugging if we could see the offending code. I have seen bugs like this when (1) Tk is not installed properly or (2) the appropriate `use` statements have not been included: `use Tk; use Tk::Text; # not sure this is needed, but can't hurt` [download] -Mark	[reply] [d/l] [select]

The error message leads me to believe that you have a place in your code where an object reference is being stringified. Since it seems to be revolving around a `Tk::Text` object, I would look for places where you are manipulating variables constructed from that class. Tk sets up a, shall we say, "creative" auto-loading scheme to catch calls to widgets and classes. It looks like it is trying to "autoload" a stringified reference to a `Tk::Text` object. As the previous responder said, actual code would help in diagnosing this. `--rjray`	[reply]
