Dear perl monks, I have a perl program with a Tk Gui. The program runs fine when launched with perl my_prog.pl. However, I have packed it using pp and now I face the problem described below.

My program uses the getOpenFile method to ask the user to select a file to be opened. In the packed version of my program, the opened file selection window does not list any file (but it should!), whereas it listed all the files, as required, in the original program.

The specific error message that I get is the following: 
~/svn/my_prog> FLT.bin
XS_Tk__Callback_Call error:must specify one of -data, -file, -array or
+ -id at Tk/Image.pm line 21.

Tk::Error: must specify one of -data, -file, -array or -id at Tk/Image
+.pm line 21.

 ("after" script)
XS_Tk__Callback_Call error:must specify one of -data, -file, -array or
+ -id at Tk/Image.pm line 21.

Except for this problem, the program works fine. I have not managed to solve this problem by myself, so, I would really appreciate any help. Thanks!

Best regards, GB
