Hi,
I'm trying to open up a dialog box with an image in it in perltk. I've tried just about everything but nothing works.. Heres the piece of code I'm trying to work with: 
    my $dialog_about = $main_window->DialogBox(
        -title  => "About $program_title",);

    $image = $main_window->Photo
            ( -file => 'aboutIE.bmp', -height => 413, width => 289);

So all I'm basically trying to do is put an image into a dialog box, the actual GUI around it works but when I click the menu button to open that dialog box (using the above code) it comes up with an error message:

Tk::Error: Can't locate auto/Tk/Photo/Show.al in @INC
(@INC contains: C:/Perl/lib C:/Perl/site/lib .) at tk.pl line 98
\&main::__ANON__
(menu invoke)

If anyone can please lead me in the correct direction, that'd be greatly appreciated, thanks! :)
