I'm still rather new to Perl, but I'm trying! I haven't found too much info on tk usage so I hope this node helps someone. I've looked around for the docs but the links lead to a zope error :( If anyone can help, please do so.

As for the example I needed a dialog box to pop up after my Perl code was executed, it's pretty neat. I made a Perl script to parse win32 log files, turned the script into a executable using perl2exe and added it to one of windoze scheduled tasks. Pretty cool stuff! Anyway HAVE FUN!
#!/usr/bin/perl-w
use strict;
use Tk;

my $mw = MainWindow -> new;
   
$mw -> title("my tk example");

my %nl = (); # newline
$mw ->Label(%nl)->pack;

my %nl = (); # newline
$mw ->Label(%nl)->pack;

my %nl = (); # newline
$mw ->Label(%nl)->pack;

my %text = ('-text',"Reminder, Don't forget to use strict!");
$mw ->Label(%text)->pack;

# -ipadx = width
# -ipady = height
my $dialog_box = $mw -> Label()-> pack(-side => 'top', -ipadx => '120'
+, -ipady => '25');
$mw -> Button(-text => "Close ", -command => sub { &exit })-> pack (-s
+ide => 'bottom');

MainLoop;
