Hello Monks,

I'm trying to tie STDOUT to a Tkx Text widget and all attempts fail. The list of what I've tried would fill a page of dense text. Here is what works and also what does not, and the 'does not' is documented everywhere online exactly as I've expressed it, including in "Mastering Perl/Tk", pg 180. I'd perfer to use ROText in this case to simulate what one sees at the command line when running a non-Gui Perl program.

What works, perfectly, and renders correctly, simplified:

use warnings;
use strict;
use v5.38;
use Tkx qw(MainLoop combobox grid);
use Tkx::ROText;
...
my $text = Tkx::tk__text(".text",);
my $text1 = $mw->new_tkx_ROText();

What does not work, obviously not both together, but either/or:

tie *STDOUT, ref $text, $text;
tie *STDOUT, 'Tkx::ROText', $text1;

Can't locate object method "TIEHANDLE" via package "main" at GCGuiQuer
+y.pl line 31.

Any suggestions? I use Tkx, not Tk, because Tk fails to recognize font properties -underline and -overstrike whereas using named fonts in comparable Tkx constructions works correctly.

Thanks for your help.
