$row0p2 = $top->ROText(-height =>8, -width => 22, -wrap => 'word',
-scrollbars => 'oe')->pack;

will produce a widget with working scrollbars.

I don't have the latest version of Tk (804.034) and my Tk::ROText does not support the  -scrollbars option, so I'm afraid I can't help further with windowCreate. 

c:\@Work\Perl\monks>perl -wMstrict -le
"use Tk;
 use Tk::ROText;
 ;;
 print 'Perl/Tk version: ', $Tk::VERSION;
 ;;
 my $MW = tkinit;
 ;;
 my $row0p2 = $MW->ROText(-height =>8, -width => 22, -wrap => 'word',
   -scrollbars => 'oe')->pack;
 ;;
 $row0p2->insert('end', '[  ' . 'long description  ' x 80 . ']');
 ;;
 MainLoop;
