It depends a lot on the kind of coding guidelines you already have. I guess most of them are still valid when you code Perl/Tk, because it still *is* Perl.

However, to improve readability of your Tk script I think it's good practice to keep your callbacks as compact as you possibly can, so either use a reference to a seperate subroutine, or use no more than 2 or three lines for it.

Maybe if you gave a few of the guidelines you already have, we would be able to extend them for Tk.
