Hi jeanine,

Frame doesn't like scrolling which is why Tk::Pane was invented. With it you can use Pane inside of a Scrolled method like so: 

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use Tk;
use Tk::Pane;

$top = MainWindow->new();
$top->maxsize(600,300);

$NUMCOLS = 10;  # Number of columns to display

# Create a frame into which all the text boxes will go
    
$frm = $top->Scrolled(
    'Pane',
    -height => 299,
    -width => 599,
    -sticky => 'we',
    -scrollbars => 'soe'
)->pack(-fill => 'both', -expand => 1);

# Set up textboxes

for ($i = 0; $i < $NUMCOLS; $i++) {

    $block[$i] = $frm->Text(
                -width  => 20,
                -height => 30,
                -background => 'white'
                );

    for ($j = 0; $j < 100; $j++) {
    $block[$i]->insert('end',"$j\n");
    }
}

## Pack the textboxes

foreach $box (@block) {
    $box->pack(-side => 'left');
}

MainLoop();
