There is a means of testing for the ability to create windows through Tk. Another module author gave me the snippet. I'll try to dig it up if I can and send it to you.

I am now discussing this and my Tk-RadiobuttonGroup-0.2.1 module more on the Perl-TK mailing list. The automated testing system has given an error that it appears to not be able to make a connection to an X server. This of course wouldn't be the fault of my module but something about how the automated testing system is configured. Is there a special way I should set up my test.pl script to deal with this possible situation, or should Tk based modules be tested in some other manner on your end? I would like this to be included in the CPAN module tree, and want to be sure it works well throughout. Thanks for your help.
