Firstly, perhaps a clarification. When I wrote "It runs without incident: I don't imagine it's something you'll need to worry about.", my intention was to indicate that, once running, you'll have nothing further to worry about. Maybe you mistakenly read it as: "You don't need to worry about running it.".

Take a look at the PAR::FAQ. While some of it may not be relevant to you, it isn't long and you'd do well to at least scan through all of it; in particular, see "On what platforms can I run PAR? On what platforms will the resulting executable run?".

For what it's worth, the "X Window System" I'm running is XQuartz 2.7.0 (xorg-server 1.11.1). This is not packaged as part of Tk.

I suggest you get your user to run the script I provided (pm_test_pp_tk.pl) and resolve any issues you have with that. When you're happy with the script, move on to pp and start testing the executable. Compiling and emailing executables sets a precedent I'm not happy with: I won't be doing this.

Searching for "X11" in your search engine should provide you with much useful information on this topic.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
