HI,

My following code runs fine with Activestate on Windows:
$FSref = $mw->FileSelect(-directory => "d:\\",-filter => "*.zip");
$filename1 = $FSref->Show;

However fails after perl2exe compilation.
Appreciate any advise.

Tk::Error:

Did you consult the manual for an explanation ? I don't have perl2exe so I
can't tell whether the info contained therein is useful or not - but I
suspect it might be of some assistance :-)

Is there some switch that will enable the loading of utf8.pm ?

PAR's pp utility sometimes suffers a similar problem with the loading of
modules - but it enables the loading of specific modules by using the '-M'
switch in the command line (which usually fixes the problem) - in this case
it would be something like:

pp -M utf8 -o script.exe script.pl

Alternatively, you might find that if your script explicitly uses utf8, then
the problem disappears.

Cheers,
Rob

Did consult the manual,nothing that they suggested helped.

My script does not explicitely use utf8.pm...
Thanks

But maybe if it did, then the problem would disappear - ie, in your script:

use utf8;

(I don't know whether that will help, but it's not hard to find out :-)

"use utf8" did not work,but "require utf8" did work.
Thanks

P.S. why does this strange module give so much trouble ?I saw it
already 20 times or more ,using different modules...

It's part of Perl's internal utf8 implementation. There are lots of
places in perl's guts where perl implicitly does a 'require utf8;' as
part of something else; IMHO perl2exe should know this and always
include it, but there y'go... :)
