This is a Tkx editor (mentioned in a previous post Tkx: "invalid command error" OS X).

The code below works fine on XP but no menus are displaying on OS X (I don't have a Mac but I have couple of testers working with me on this).

The testers are getting no errors, the window pops up. The output from the Tkx::TRACE flag seems to indicate the commands are executing.

I've googled on this and couldn't find anything. And I'm (almost) certain I have the syntax correct.

I'm working with Perl 10/Tk 8.5.5. The Mackers are stuck with 8.4 Tk installed via CPAN (at least until I get them to upgrade ;)

Output from tk_windowingsystem() is aqua on OS X

I've also had them run the demo editor tkx-ed from the module with same results.

Thanks
