I still can't get dlineinfo to work. It works in the code you posted, but in my own code, which does the same thing as far as I can tell, it only works if the index is 1.0. I have no idea what is going on.

use warnings;

use Tk;

my $mw = Tk::MainWindow->new;
$mw->geometry('400x300');


my $tw = $mw->Text(-wrap=>'word')->pack(qw/ -expand 1 -fill both /);
$tw->insert('end',

    print "dline info for $index: " . join (' ', @dline) . "\n";
}
