Hello, Monks.

I found the above Perl module - it's a text entry box with two button widgets that allows one to increment or decrement an integer scalar variable - and it works very well at what it does. I'd love to find a comparable widget that allows one to use decimal values as well - IOW I'd like to be able to change the value of the increment/decrement from 1 to 0.1, 0.001 or 0.5, etc. I've found nothing to indicate that Tk::NumEntry allows for this in it's PerlDocs or via Google, nor found a Perl module that fulfills my needs. I even opened up NumEntry.pm and the two widget's it's derived from, NumEntryPlain.pm and FireButton.pm, but didn't see anything terribly

I thought about inserting a decimal value into the NumEntry, and then using regexps and/or simple math to allow this, but it would be far easier and much less of a bandaid to find a widget that does this natively. Or, to modify NumEntry to accept a -incrementValue parameter or somesuch. Has anyone found a widget that does what I want, or have you come up with another solution?

Thanks in advance,

Soko
