TK Errors - maybe to do with version missmatch!

blackadder has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Dear Monks

I have this bit of code

#! c:/perl/bin -w
$|++;
AUTOLOAD;
require 5.008;

use strict;
use warnings 'all';
use diagnostics;

use TK 800.005;
use Tk::TList;
use TK::Table;
use TK::Frame;
use TK::DirTree;
use TK::Adjuster;
use TK::Scrollbar;
use TK::DropSite;
use TK::DragDrop;
[download]

that produced all those errors!

If I take out the diagnostics and warnings then all this will disappear! My question is; am I burying my head in the sand if I do so? Or is there away to remediate all those errors?

Also, I know that I am using Perl version 5.8.3 on WinXp, but how can I find out which version of TK I am using?

Finally: What is the significance of $|++? I was advised by a Monk here long ago to use it, However not sure exactly what it does?

Thanks a lot

* very sorry about the length of the error list!

Ahhhhhhhh, what an idiot, Capital T but small k....D'ohVery sorry for the disturbance!
