Hi Monks,
I am trying to add a jpg file to my canvas but of no go. Here is the simple code that i am working with: 
use Tk;
use strict;
my $mw = new MainWindow;
$mw->geometry('600x600+110+110');
my $drawing = $mw->Canvas(-width => 500, -height => 500, 
-background => "white") -> pack;
my $xpm = $drawing->createBitmap(0, 0, -bitmap  => '@myfile.bmp'); 
my $xpm = $drawing->createImage(0, 0, -bitmap  => '@myfile.jpg'); 
#$drawing->createOval(100,50,300,250,-fill=>"black");
#$drawing->createRectangle(150,100,250,200,-fill=>"red");
#$drawing->createText(200,275,-text=>"Some text on my drawing!",-ancho
+r=>"center");
MainLoop();

Except the Bitmap and the image, i am able to create all other shapes (the lines that are commented) in the Canvas. I am receiving the below error message format error in bitmap dataerror reading bitmap file "myfile.bmp" at C:/Perl/site/lib/Tk.pm line 250.
Am i doing any thing wrong. Please guide me in right direction.
