Hi PerlMonks,

I am a beginner in perl programming. I have tried to create the first GUI using the hello.pl program. But I am getting an error in cmd like "Can't locate loadable object for module Tk::Event in @INC (@INC contains: C:/Per l/site/lib C:/Perl/lib .) at C:/Perl/lib/Tk.pm line 13". I have given the script of hello.pl and the Event.pm below. I am looking for help from perlmonks to sort out this problem in creating the GUI using hello.pl.

The code of hello.pl is given below:

#!/usr/local/bin/perl
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;

I have used the following Event.pm within Tk directory of perl lib installed in C drive of my laptop:

package Tk::Event;
use vars qw($VERSION $XS_VERSION @EXPORT_OK);
END { CleanupGlue() }
$VERSION = sprintf '4.%03d', q$Revision: #15 $ =~ /\D(\d+)\s*$/;
$XS_VERSION = '804.027';
use base  qw(Exporter);
use XSLoader;
@EXPORT_OK = qw($XS_VERSION DONT_WAIT WINDOW_EVENTS  FILE_EVENTS
                TIMER_EVENTS IDLE_EVENTS ALL_EVENTS);
XSLoader::load 'Tk::Event',$XS_VERSION;
require   Tk::Event::IO;
1;
__END__

I am getting the following error message again and again in cmd window.
