Webmaster Forum / Perl / Tk / September 2006

I_m using perl 5.8.7 + Tk 800.027 and when i select some text in the
Tk::ROText widget and try it to copy somewhere else, my perl program
will crash with the message: "selection conversion left too many bytes
unconverted".

I have an PerlTk application (http://mapivi.de.vu) which displays,
edits and searches meta information of JPEG pictures, like EXIF and
IPTC.
The IPTC informations may contain information in different character

I am getting a strange problem with spreadsheet.
When the number of rows is greater than 1000, then the program
is being terminated on clicking the mouse on the title bar.
But it is working fine with less than 1000 rows.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but no one else posted
it, so I guess I will.

I'm looking for a drop-down box which will allow me to manipulate the
selected entry and the list of choices from within the code.  In other
words, I want something like Tk::Optionmenu with choices a, b, c and I
need to be able to select 'c' from within the code.  Also, I need to be

Here is the first part of a set-up script.
If I run it with the reference to Tk::Exists commented out in the sub

my application diplays a photo object (using Tk::JPEG) in a canvas.

1st, it seems that I do not have (or more) nmake.err.!
2nd, what is it that this "cl"?  I sought but I found anything it above.
There is CL.pl in Perl \ lib \ unicore \. but it is all.

A coworker and I have both installed perl-tk under debian linux. His
works fine. Mine is displaying some strange behavior that I've had no
luck debugging.
I try to execute the following script:

In one of my recent applications, I have instead of using 'insert' to
populate a text widget, tied STDOUT to the text widget so that I can
simply 'print' to it.  Just wondering if there are any warnings or
things to watch out for when using this method.

I have my program running fine but had expected the output of the
program to be inserted in the scrolled widget one line at a time as the
program runs. Instead of that behaviour, the text spashes out to the
widget all at the same time when the program completes.

i can't finf a solution to make a button which shows file browser on my
local drive.
thanks in advance
