To answer your unasked question, I want to create a Perl/Tk application with a window that has another, non-Perl/Tk program (VGB linux, to be exact) embedded within it. I apologize if I was not clear enough in my original question. :/

The -container option is exactly what I was looking for... Now I just need to figure out how to open an application as a contained window. Tk::Toplevel has a -use option that makes the Toplevel contained but I can't find any mention of how to start a totally seperate program and have it be contained.

Don't suppose you have any suggestions on where I might find more information?

At any rate, thanks for the start!
