I liked the suggestion by rcseege; but, when I read what you wanted to do, I thought of Tk::Columns---it's a multicolumn list widget that enables sorting and sizing of columns. It's packaged with Tk::DKW.

If you want the second column to be the same width as the resizable button above it, then Tk::Columns has an event handler that seems up to the job:

 use Tk::Columns;

if (defined ($p_Slave))
   {
    $p_Slave->GeometryRequest ($this->reqwidth(), $p_Slave->reqheight(
+));
    $p_Slave->update();

$this->update();
}

[download]

It will "slave the listbox to the current width of the button". I hope this helps.
