Um, so... which line is line #34 in your code?

(Since the <code> tag does not, by itself, number the lines, it will be helpful in your posting if you add a comment at the line that is referred to in a quoted error trace, to make that clear.)

Let me guess that it might be this line:

my $e1 = $p->add( 'Entry',
[download]

I'm guessing it's this one, because the error says you're trying to call an "add" method on a "Frame" widget, which has no such method; and while I have never used a NoteBook widget before, I wouldn't be surprised to look in its docs and discover that the widget you get back when you call the "add" method on a NoteBook is ... a Frame, which would make your "$p" a frame widget and raise the error. You should look that up.

As for buckaduck's reply, it is of course fine (and frequent practice) to both invoke and pack a widget at "the same time", as you do in your original code. Don't worry about that.

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
