I have been trying to get code posted under the heading Re: How to handle Tk::Photo-data()?

But when I try to run it, the image always comes back black. I have done a literal cut & paste of the code. I am on a windows system. I have also printed the encoded jpg and decoded it using a different application and it still comes back black.

I use this code using the same file that is being encoded and resized in the above link, and it shows fine.

my $mw = MainWindow->new; my $button = $mw->Button()->pack(); my $photo = $button->Photo( -format => 'jpeg', -file => 'found.jpg' ); + $button->configure( -image => $photo ); MainLoop;
Any ideas??
