I'm speaking from limited experience, but my understanding
is that the "minimize, maximize, close" buttons represent
functions of the desktop window manager -- not the individual
process that occupies a given window. Also, these functions
are intrinsic to the title-bar, which is rendered (or not)
by the window manager (potentially at the request of the process).
So I think the
answer is "no", you can't control the presence/absence of
these buttons from within the Perl/Tk script. With some
window managers (in X Windows), you can control which windows
get title bars or don't (based on process or window names),
and even dictate what control buttons are provided
on title bars generally, but this isn't something that a Perl/Tk
script can do for itself, by itself. (X window managers
also provide a "border" on all windows, which can be
used to move or resize windows instead of a title bar.)
A Perl/Tk process can, of course, dictate its own geometry
and placement to the window manager, meaning that it should
be possible to control placement and size of the app window
even when you create it without a title bar. But if the
user needs to adjust this during runtime, it's better to
leave that to the standard window-manager methods.
The next step may be to focus on why you don't want the window
to provide these buttons; "minimize" seems harmless (and
I'd recommend keeping it in any case), while
"maximize" can be annoyance when hit by mistake (but maybe
$topwin->resizable(0,0) might help), and "close"
could be nasty if you don't have an appropriate mechanism
to handle that sort of event -- but this is what
"OnDestroy(callback)" is for (not to mention the END block).
