in thread Tk::Image problem

I tried that too, but it gives me 
wrong # args: should be "pack option arg ?arg ...?" at t.pl line 9.

when I use ->pack and 
bad option "image1": must be configure, forget, info, propagate, or sl
+aves at t.pl line 9.

when i use ->pack(-anchor => 'sw')
Thanks for your response, anyways.

    To make up for my ignorance:

    #!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;

use Tk;
use Tk::Photo;

my $main = new MainWindow;

my $photo = $main->Photo(-format => 'gif', -file => 't.gif');

my $canvas = $main->Canvas(
    -width => $photo->width,
    -height => $photo->height,
)->pack( -side => 'top' );

$canvas->createImage(0, 0, -image => $photo, -anchor => 'nw');

MainLoop;

    Tk::Photo is not a widget, just an object that contains the photo. Use a Tk::Canvas to display the photo.

      That works, but a Canvas is overkill: 
      #!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;

use Tk;
use Tk::Photo;

my $main = new MainWindow;

my $photo = $main->Photo(-format => 'gif', -file => 't.gif');

$main->Label(-image => $photo)->pack;

MainLoop;
