+=head1 NAME
+
+Tk::Zinc::TraceErrors - A module to trace all Tk::Zinc method calls which generate an error
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+use Tk::Zinc::TraceErrors;
+
+or
+
+perl -MTk::Zinc::TraceErrors YourZincBasedScript.pl
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+When loaded, this module overloads a Tk mechanism so that every
+Tk::Zinc method call will be traced if it provokes an error. The execution
+will then continue.
+
+This module can be very effective for debugging and application, specially
+when Tk gives an unusuable error message such as ".... errors in Tk.pm line 228"
