Re^8: Using Tcl::Tk Module with Tcl/Tk 8.5

OK, perhaps I wasn't clear in my earlier response.

According to Synaptic the package called "perl-modules" and described as "Architecture independent Perl modules. These modules are part of Perl and required if the `perl' package is installed." is installed. It was installed when the OS was installed, as I have not added it manually. Packages "perl" and "perl-base" are also installed.

So, I am still not sure what to do. Do you have a suggestion?

Thanks

I have found the solution to this after much Googling. It doesn't make sense, but everything now works. Answer is on this page: http://search.cpan.org/src/TLINDEN/Config-General-2.31/General.pm Specific text is: # on debian with perl > 5.8.4 croak() doesn't work anymore without this. # There is some require statement which dies 'cause it can't find Carp::Heavy, # I really don't understand, what the hell they made, but the debian perl # installation is definetly bullshit, damn! use Carp::Heavy; Not sure why this works, but my application now launches. seems like the necessary modules were installed but something else is not right.

use Carp::Heavy;
