Hi, first thanks for your replies. It helps me to move ahead instead stagnant. But then, I get errors like

XStoSubCmd: Not a Tk Window Tk::die_with_trace at /perl_install/lib/Tk/Submethods.pm line 37

Tk::MainWindow=HASH(0xa56e270) is not a widget

I did a miniature of my code to get a 'hello' success:

I run this with $window->Label(-text=>"Hello 1")->pack(); and then $window->Label(-text=>"Hello 2")->pack(); to print bothe Hello 1 and 2 in the same window, but I get errors on second run. 


use Tk;
use Tk::Widget;
#use Tk::WidgetDump;
use Data::Dumper;
use Storable;
use B::Deparse;
$Storable::Deparse=1;
use Storable qw(freeze thaw);
use Safe;
#use strict;
my $safe = new Safe;

# because of opcodes used in "use strict":
$safe->permit(qw(:default require));
local $Storable::Deparse = 1;
local $Storable::Eval = sub { $safe->reval($_[0]) };

sub ShowLog {
 my $window;
 if(-e "mainwindow.store") {$window=retrieve("mainwindow.store");}
 if(!defined($window)) {$window = Tk::MainWindow->new();}
  if(defined($window)) {
  $window->Label(-text=>"Hello 1")->pack();
  store \%{$window}, "mainwindow.store";
 }
 MainLoop();
}
