nirmal1349 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi, I am trying to open a GUI from my perl program using Perl Tkx module. When I run my program I get the error, "Can't locate object method "new" via package "MainWindow" (perhaps you forgot to load "MainWindow"?) at Apri_final.pl line 16." Can anyone please tell me whats missing?

    Welcome to the monastery!

    Can anyone please tell me whats missing?
    The code that fails. Without the code it's hard to tell what's the problem. Can you please provide us with code snippet that causes error? Also please read How do I post a question effectively?

    Update: there's such thing as MainWindow when you're using Tk package, and that's not the same as Tkx, so perhaps you just mixed up these two packages.

    I doubt that Tkx has a MainWindow object because the MainWindow object is available in Tk but not Tkx. Show us the code that generated this problem because without it we'd just be punching in the dark with regard to what possibly could have caused this as zwon has told you. Further, I'd demonstrate to you a basic difference between these two modules that can be related to your problem.

    This is how the Tkx module is invoked (run "perldoc Tkx" from your shell for more info):

    use strict; use warnings; use Tkx my $mw=Tkx::widget->new .... .... .... Tkx::MainLoop;

    And this is how you invoke the Tk module (run "perldoc Tk" from your shell for more info):

    use strict; use warnings; use Tk; my $mw=MainWindow->new(); ... ... ... MainLoop;
    Don't forget to check perldoc for each one of these modules, it can potentially give you basic information that could enable you to find where the error is yourself, if you couldn't then post that code here for us please. Have a nice Perl journey..

    Hello, when I try to access the documentation referred to, I get the following:
    C:\Perl>perldoc tkx No documentation found for "tkx".
    What am I doing wrong?
      case sensitive???

        No; when I do the exact thing, I get the doc for Tkx. I think it must be that he doesn't have Tkx installed. Perhaps he has an older version of Perl?

        I reckon we are the only monastery ever to have a dungeon stuffed with 16,000 zombies.
