Webmaster Forum / Perl / Tk / February 2006

I've been "nosing around" asking why running Gtk2 apps
cause a seg-fault in Perl/Tk apps. A knowlegable person
(Aristotle) says that it has to be a problem in the way Tk
interacts with the X11 server. So in the interest of solving

The Close button in this code works if and only if I have not opened
the menu.
Anyone have a workaround?
Thanks, Burdette

use Tk;
require Tk::HList;

I did not give much thought of making my script available for Windows, too.
Until now.  As I have not the vaguest idea how Windows work, and how likely
it is to find users with perl-tk already somehow installed, I started
wondering what would be the best strategy if I wanted to make ...

I have several canvases which are resized when the containing window is
