Looks like this is the same issue encountered here: Is there some limit to the max num of widgets in perl tk?

I really can't convert everything to Tk::Canvas at this point, and I'm not even sure if a Canvas would support everything I'm doing in my real program. I have 8,695 labels in a typical example (yes, I know) but the grid geometry manager is the only thing I can leverage which appropriately tracks their precise position/spacing in the layout which is very important to the data display. Right now, I have simply cut everything in half and provide a button to choose to display either the first or second half and that works fine. But I'm curious why this is even necessary, as there are no warnings, cores, or any apparent issues/complaints from the system when I display everything at once; it just simply does not work.
