Will this new version of Ptk be much different than the last version; as
talked about in MPTK.  I've read that book, just wanted to know if another
book will be written to cover the 'new stuff', and if so, how much new stuff

I have a menu,

Guys,

page of the notebook. This means that pages with less stuff on them have
lots of wasted space around the edges.

I'm looking for a way to print stuff from a Perl/Tk application.
On Unix, all I'd expect is a handle.  On Windows, ideally, it
would pop up the usual Windows printer dialog.  Is this just

Wondering if anyone has built a widget to do fancy
Help screens (ie, notebook on the left with
Contents tree, Index, Search, etc., and text window
on the right). Google didn't raise anything; does Tk::Pod

I have an open-source Perl/Tk app I've written
(http://www.lightandmatter.com/ogr/ogr.html) which uses
