I'm trying to run a Perl/Tk app on Mac OSX 10.4.8 (Tiger) and ran into an error message when I tried to create a new MainWindow object.
couldn't connect to display ":0" at usr/local/ActivePerl-5.8/lib/Tk/Ma +inWindow.pm line 55
So I tried a the basic MainWindow example script and came up with the same error.
use Tk; # Main Window my $mw = new MainWindow; my $label = $mw -> Label(-text=>"Hello World") -> pack(); my $button = $mw -> Button(-text => "Quit", -command => sub { exit }) -> pack(); MainLoop;
The Tk module is up to date, so I'm not sure what is going on here Any ideas?
