Unfortunately, since the demo scripts do a 'use SimpleRadarControls;', the perl namespace is indeed polluted. > Any help or advice on Tk::Zinc CPANisation welcome ! You should: - pack Wheel and SimpleRadarControls in a directory in the demo dir and do a 'use libs "./demo_lib" ' in the demo script (or something like that). As general ideas, you should: - avoid to pack tcl and python code into CPAN (it's not a religious matter, but to avoid confusing people who might want to peek at the module) - use ExtUtils::MakeMaker to generate the Makefile. You will have better chance to produce a module that works with all (well most recents) versions of perl. That said, it's might easier said that done :-/. You should look at the way perl/Tk is built to get a better idea. Bon courage Cheers -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
