Hi,

I am trying to write a program which has many notebooks and i found a reference code from the web as below which is exactly what i want. When i make the main window size 870x1000 i notice that the area where the notebooks are present is smaller than the main window. How should i modify this code such that the notebooks are as big as the main window? 
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Tk;
use Tk::NoteBook;

our $mw = MainWindow->new;
$mw->geometry("870x1000");

my $canvas = $mw->Scrolled('Canvas',-bg=>'red')->pack;
our $nb = $canvas->NoteBook;

### add 20 tabs to notebook
for ( 1 .. 20 ){
my $title = "Untitled ($_)";
$nb->add( $_, -label => $title );
}

### embed the notebook widget into the canvas
my $nb_in_canvas = $canvas->createWindow( 0,0,-window => $nb,-anchor =
+> 'nw' );
$canvas->update;
### the whole notebook is larger than what can be initially displayed
### so we'll have to sroll it later on in the program

$canvas->configure(-scrollregion => [0,0,$nb->reqwidth,$nb->reqheight]
+);

MainLoop;
