Thanks JediWizard! What version of Tk are you using on perl 5.8.4 and what build number is that (of perl that is)?

I've tried with perl 5.8.3 build 809, which comes with Tk 800.024, and installed Tk::TableMatrix with ppm-utility and then everything worked ok. Problem is I need some other Tk-Widgets too, for instance Tk::JPEG. This won't install with ppm..So when I installed this with the CPAN-module it automatically upgraded Tk to 803.027..

With Tk 803.027 Tk::TableMatrix won't even run when installed with the ppm-util.

When I then afterwards tried to manually install Tk::TableMatrix from CPAN everything seem to work fine, except for the before mentioned problem with CTRL+c etc..

Then tried with latest version of perl from Activestate, 5.8.4 build 810 and installed TableMatrix with ppm - then same problem as with perl 5.8.3 - would not compile..Got this error msg:

Had to create Tk::XlibVtab unexpectedly at C:/Perl/lib/DynaLoader.pm line 253. 2be4fb8 is not a hash at C:/Perl/site/lib/Tk/Widget.pm line 190.

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.

Please contact the application's support team for more information.

What a mess..Is there any way to get specific widgets (Tk::JPEG etc) for perl 5.8.3-809 without having to upgrade to latest version of Tk?

-Version number correction.
