in thread How do I space out each radio button horizontally in Perl/Tk

Probably this is what rovf sugested, also note that I use Tk::RadiobuttonGroup.

use strict;
use warnings;

use Tk;
use Tk::widgets qw(RadiobuttonGroup);
my $mw = MainWindow->new;

$mw->Label(
    -text    => 'Package Selection',
    -justify => 'left'
)->pack;

my $package = 'normal';
my $radiobuttongroup = $mw->RadiobuttonGroup (
    -list        => ['  normal', '  pckg_A', '  pckg_B'],
    -orientation => 'vertical',
    -variable    => \$package,
    -command     => sub { print $package, "\n"; }
)->pack;

MainLoop;

      That's not a problem:

      use strict;
use warnings;

use Tk;
my $mw = MainWindow->new;

my $package = 'normal';
foreach my $type (qw(normal pckg_A pckg_B)) {
    $mw->Radiobutton(
        -text     => "  $type",
        -value    => $type,
        -variable => \$package,
    )->pack;
}

MainLoop;

        Thanks stefbv. However, I'm using notebook and I have it packed earlier on my code, guess I can only use grid to set the position right?

        I have something like this is my early code

        my $tab = $notebook->add('page1', -label=> 'Package');
my $mwt_pckg = $tab1->Frame()->pack ;

        [download]

        Then folowing by this

         my $package = 'normal';
foreach my $type (qw(normal pckg_A pckg_B)) {
    $mwt_pckg->Radiobutton(
        -text     => "  $type", #modified here as you suggested.
        -value    => $type,
        -variable => \$package,
#)->grid(-sticky => 'w', -column => 1, -row => 2);
    )->grid(-sticky => 'w', -column => 1, -row => 2, -columnspan=>20, 
+-padx => 50, );

        However, it just doesn't works as I wish.

        Note, if I modify the code replacing the current grid position with pack, the gui doen't pop up at all.
