I am in the process of moving a Perl/Tk text editor to Perl/Tkx.

The following code works fine on Windows XP ActivePerl 5.8/5.10 but my OS X testers are getting this error:

invalid command name "tk::text" at tkx-test-1.pl line 24. (There's a FIXME: on the offending line.)

I've searched on this but no results that seemed applicable.

Thanks for any and all responses.

use warnings;
use strict;

use Tkx;

my $VERSION = "1.0.0";
my ($mw, $tw);
$mw = Tkx::widget->new(".");

$tw = $mw->new_tk__text( # FIXME: Barfs on OS X
    -width => 40, 
    -height => 10 );

$tw->g_grid;
$tw->g_focus;

$tw->insert("1.0", "If you can read this it worked.");

Tkx::MainLoop();
exit;
