in reply to finding stuff in the docs

The Tk manuals are messy, and they it's a order of magnitude harder to find your way around them as the general Perl docs are. The 'destroy' methods is not something that's available in just any Perl module, but it is a method that's common to all Tk widgets.

And methods common to all Tk widgets are described in the Tk::Widget (and not Tk::widget!) manual page.
