One of the users I support gets an error when he runs a script with the first line "use Tk;". None of the others suffers the same problem. The error is:

e:/Rational/Common/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/MSWin32-x86-multi-thread/
+auto/Tk/getEncoding.al did not return a true value at e:/Rational/Com
+mon/lib/perl5/5.8.6/MSWin32-x86-multi-thread/DynaLoader.pm line 253
Compilation failed in require at S:\setCCVIEW.pl line 1.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at S:\setCCVIEW.pl line 1.

getEncoding.al has a last (non-comment) line of 1; so it always returns a true value to a use or require. Although I can't see the dependency chain from use Tk; to getEncoding.al, I don't see how getEncoding.al can return anything but 1 in this compilation stage.

Can anyone spot the problem?
