Hi Monks,
I have been looking at Mastering Perl/TK for the last couple of days and need a little help figuring this out.

In the main window I want two widgets, a Tree/HList on the left and a Frame on the right which will have other widgets in it.

This is what I want to happen:

Firstly the HList on the left should be scrollable, -Scrolled doesn't seem to work?
When a node in the tree is selected, it generates some widgets in the frame on the right displaying some kind of information. An example in Windows could be Explorer or the Admin tools.

Any pointers, code snippets etc is greatly appreciated.
Cheers, Steve
