It works.
Create the following perl program:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use Tk;
my $mw = MainWindow->new;
$mw->Button(
-text => "Exit",
-background => "red",
-command => sub { exit; },
)->pack( -side => 'bottom' , -fill => 'both' );
MainLoop;
Run it in, you get a nice exit button.
Uninstall the package libwmf.
Run it, it core dumps.
As I said in my original postings, I suspected it wasn't directly linked
in. I honestly don't know precisely why or how, but I know that without
this package, the simply script above doesn't work.
Please confirm on your system, should be trival, and add the dependency.
Please also bear in mind, that I only install what I need, the default
plus minimum, in this case, Perl/Tk. If this doesn't work on your
system,
please try this approach.
Thank you,
Brett
