Esteemed monks,

I know this module is very new. I installed it in my ActiveState Perl 5.8.0 build 804. I used the following code against a MySQL tbale on my local machine which is perfectly okay. 

sub doDBItable {
    my $top = MainWindow->new;
    my $tkdbi = $top->DBITable (
            -sql => 'select * from user',
            -dbh => $dbh,
            -display_id => 1,
            -debug => 1,)->pack(expand => 1, -fill => 'both');
}

This sub is invoked from a menu selection, I just grafted this part into another job I am owkring on to test it. Rsulting in this error response on STDOUT: 
Tk::Error: element "J" already exists at K:/Perl/site/lib/Tk.pm line 2
+28.
 at K:/Perl/site/lib/Tk/Derived.pm line 467
 [\&main::doDBItable]
 (menu invoke)

The empty eindow displays and that is the last of it. The "J" referred to in the error could easily be a value in the first field of a record. There are 3 out of 5 records all have "J" as the first field.

Any ideas? ...john
