in thread Perl/Tk exe not working

I ran the program without the --gui option and got some good info. The problem seems to be with Encode::Unicode module. Here's what it says: Encode object version 1.99_01 does not match bootstarp parameter 2.09 at......then it lists a whole bunch of places that it failed within the Encode::Unicode module. Is the problem with the version of the Encode::Unicode module? Not really sure what this means.

    This sounds like a UTF-8 problem. There have been big changes to the perl core in this area since 5.6.1.

    Please could you run the following commands on your home machine, and paste the output:

    perl -v
perl -V
perl -MPAR -e "print PAR->VERSION,qq(\n)"
perl -MEncode::Unicode -e "print Encode::Unicode->VERSION,qq(\n)"

        Your perl version is reasonably recent. No problem there.

        There is an update to the Encode module, I recommend that you install this.

        Also, your version of PAR is fairly ancient. many bugs and issues have been fixed in PAR since then.

        If you have been relying on getting dists from ActiveState's ppm repository, you might need to shop around for more recent versions: try http://crazyinsomniac.perlmonk.org/perl/ppm , or download the source from CPAN and build them yourself (you need MS Visual Studio 6 or later).

        In terms of your underlying problem, you might find that there's a locale difference between the two machines, which is tripping the character set encoding logic. Check Locale + regional settings.
