Re: couldn't connect to display ":0"

Why not try

my $main = new MainWindow; ###barfs here###
change to:

my $main = MainWindow->new; ###barfs here###

I think that is not a problem with your script, but with the environment variable DISPLAY that may be set incorrectly.

Or if you are running that script from a session window that doesn't let graphics (spawning windows) though, that is another possibility.

 

Are you running your script from your local host or telnet'ed / rsh'ed ?

help

when I run this program:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);
use lib  '/home/bthcraft/cgi-bin/lib/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux';
use Tk;
my $main = new MainWindow; ###barfs here###
$main->Label(-text => 'Hello, world!')->pack;
$main->Button(-text => 'Quit', -command => sub{exit} )->pack;
MainLoop;

I recieve the following error
