Yet again, I'm confused. It's late and I've spent most of the day working on this, so that may be why I missed it (or not :)

However, an error, seemingly out of no where popped up. I've been working on a callback function bound to a Button-1 click on a certain image type. Fine. Everything worked. Well, then I copied that line to another place in the file (reason would require knowledge of subroutine, which I don't think is needed for the question), and did some slight changes.

AND THEN...

NOTHING! Same thing as before, but the function was never entered! I removed the (rather commented out the) code I added, but still nothing. So it must have been something somehow got changed in the bind statement, or an assignment to some value that affects that -- but having beens staring at this code far too long I can't spot it (or maybe I'm looking in the wrong place). Here's what I think is relavent: 

my $card_dir = 'C:\tk_proj\cards\gif';
my $ext      = 'gif';
my $back     = $canvas->Photo(-file   => "$card_dir\\b1fv.$ext",
                              -format => 'gif');
...
my $dk_img  = $canvas->createImage(50,120, -image => $back);
...
$canvas->bind($dk_img, "<Button-1>", [\&dk_clk, $deck, $waste]);

Anything I changed in the sub wouldn't take effect (it seems to me) untill the sub was called, so that can't be it. The sub isn't even being called.
