Perl/TK demo Widget Utilization

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

How can one use any of the PErl/Tk widget bundled with the Perl installation for Windows. I tried calling search.pl but I keep getting this error message : Can't call method "WidgetDemo" on an undefined value at search.pl line 14. How can one use any of the example scripts as a module for instance? Of course, I added require "search.pl" at the top of my script! Thanks

Just running "widget" in the command line does it for me. Start->Run... type "cmd" Then you get at c:\whatever ... > Type "widget", it should work if you have activeperl correctly installed. Also check the ActivePerl docs for "widget" to see how to use it.	[reply]
