O most noble Monks,
I am trying to use the "Photo" widget in Tk, and it's giving me some problems. Here is my code: 
#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use Tk;

my $mw = MainWindow->new;
my $image = $mw->Photo(-file    => 'Xcamel.gif',
                       -format  => 'gif');
$mw->Label(-image => $image)->pack;
MainLoop;

[download]
The picture is included in the Tk distribution (it's right in the Tk directory). When I look at Xcamel.gif using xv (or a web browser), it shows up with all of the available colors. When I use perl/Tk, it is horribly dithered. I tried experimenting with the "-palette" option on the Photo widget, but to no avail. I am using Perl 5.00503 on Sun/Solaris, and Perl/Tk 800.015. I appreciate any help you can give me. Thanks!
Julio
