Hello, All,

I know, this is an old discussion. But I struggled the last days with the same problem and think that I have found a clean solution.

Tcl doesn't find init.tcl, because the shell environment variable $ENV{TCL_Library} points to the wrong place, I think. Altering the environment variables of a parent process is not easy, but I think the following solution is the best and cleanest solution, if you don't want to use a tkkit.

You only have to add the following begin block to you Tcl::Tk or Tkx perl script:

BEGIN {
    if ($ENV{PAR_TEMP} && $ENV{TCL_Library} ne "$ENV{PAR_TEMP}/inc/lib
+/tcl8.6") {
        print "Starting a Tcl::Tk PAR-exe file\n";
        print "We need to set shell environment variables first \n";  
+      
        $ENV{TCL_Library} = "$ENV{PAR_TEMP}/inc/lib/tcl8.6";
        # I don't know whether this is really necessary?        
        $ENV{TK_Library} = "$ENV{PAR_TEMP}/inc/lib/tcl8.6";
        system($0);
        exit();    
    }
}

I hope, this will help someone.. It is really cool to distribute the perl/Tcl::Tk scripts with pp...

Best wishes,

Max
