Yeah, Carl is right, you don't need Xwindows software. So you're running
this on win2k?
try this exact script...
#Begin--------------------------------------------------------------
use Tk;
my $mw = MainWindow->new(-title => 'Hello World!!');
$mw->Button(-text => "Done!", -command => sub{exit})->pack();
MainLoop();
#End----------------------------------------------------------------
For this script don't worry about the lines...
#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w\
use lib '/export/home/bwise/perl/lib/site_perl/5.005';
...that you had in your earlier script.
I don't see why having those in there would cause a problem, but I don't
think you *NEED* them in win2k. (I'm not sure if they even do anything in
win2k, I'm sure someone else can comment on this).
If you don't see it, make sure you check your task bar, it could possibly be
behind some other window.
If that doesn't work, lemme know. :)

Tk running on Windows does not require the X-window software.
