That doesn't seem to work. You could view the .gif I am trying to animate at:
Gif

The code I'm trying to use is....
use Tk::Animation;
my $mw = MainWindow->new;
$mw->title("Animated Character");
mw $img = $mw->Animation( -format => 'gif', -file => '/home/Scott/Chinese/Char/1(b).gif'); #1(b).gif is the animated .gif
$period = 5;
$img->start_animation($period);

The beatings will continue until morale raises.
