(For more information on the idea of the code, see a node entitled: PerlSol (Solitare in Perl); also, for a complete listing of the code, check out my scratchpad -- I'll try to keep it updated with my changes every so often).

Okay, to the inevitable problem. I've been tinkering with a callback to be invoked when a user clicks on the deck. For now I plan to have three cards (or as many as are available) be moved to the waste. When the cards in the deck are out a rectangle will replace the image that was there to indicate the condition. Clicking the rectangle will take all the cards in the waste (in reverse order) and put them into the deck, dealing three to the waste at the same time. The process will then start again.

Well, after countless errors, fixing things that were 'just slightly wrong' (and the more slightly wrong ones too :), I don't know how to fix the mess I'm in now. I've been tracking where I go in my code, and I've narrowed down the problem (mostly) to this section in the dk_clk procedure: 

  if($_[1]->num_cards() <= 0) { # deck out of cards
    $_[0]->delete($_[4]); # Delete card back photo
    $_[0]->delete($_[3]); # Delete card back image
    $_[3] = ($_[0])->createRectangle(15,72,84,165);
    $deleted = 1;

    $_[1]->take_from($_[2]);
    $_[2] = Pile->new({ max => 52 });

    ($_[0])->bind($_[3], "<Button-1>",
                       [\&dk_clk, $_[1], $_[2], $_[3], $_[4]]);
  }

After one clicks on the deck until it is empty, this part is invoked. And from there the bind ceases -- so I rebound, but to no avail. If you wish to try it out, you can get the card images here: http://www.jfitz.com/cards/ (downloadable as gif or png in compressed format). As I said, the complete code is at my scratchpad, and here's the subs that are invoked upon a click of the deck:

(A lot of what I have is workaround, just trying to get it to work; suggestions to improve this are welcome, and a fuller 'restoration' project will go on once I have something that does what I want it to do)

                [\&frst_clk, $deck, $waste, $dk_img, $back]);
