Heya,

i played around a little bit with pack, but it seems to be impossible with a single pack. I could imagine to ways of solving it:

1. As some monks already mentioned, grid would be the geometry manager, which is most suitable for this task.

2. Untested: If it is possible to insert a frame into a frame, you could try the following code: 
my $topframe = $mainWindow->Frame;
$topframe->pack(-expand => 'x', -fill => 1);

my $leftframe = $topframe->Frame;
$leftframe->pack(-side => 'left', -expand => 'x', -fill =>1);
my $rightframe = $topframe->Frame;
$rightframe->pack(-side => 'left', -expand => 'x', -fill =>1);

... but using grid is much easier to and to understand.
