Although I have used Perl Tk for a number of years I never have wanted to do this before.
I want to alter both the size of the tick box in a Checkbutton and the size of the round button of a Radio button.
I could not see any obvious option for this so I thought it may be affected my the text size on the widget.
The Perl below creates 2 Checkbuttons with different sizes of text. However the tick boxes are the same size.
Is there a way of altering the tick box size? I could want differenmt sizes on various widgets. 
use Tk;
use strict;
my $mw = MainWindow->new(-title => 'CheckBox size');
my $f = $mw->Frame->pack(-side => 'top');

my $weight = "normal";

my $fch = $f->Checkbutton(

     -text     => "Weight",

    -variable => \$weight,

)->pack(-side => 'left');

my $size = 16;
$fch->configure(-font => [ -size => $size ]);

my $fch2 = $f->Checkbutton(

     -text     => "Weight",

    -variable => \$weight,

)->pack(-side => 'left');

$size = 32;
$fch2->configure(-font => [ -size => $size ]);

MainLoop;
