Fellow monks,

I've searched Google for the answer to this and come up empty.

I'm starting to build an address book in Perl Tk so I want to change the placement of the tabs in Tk::NoteBook so that the tabs are geometrically east and west, as opposed to what appears to be the default north placement. I'd rather have the look like an address book as opposed to a rolodex.

I've perused the Tk::Notebook docs and tried to go through the source and found nothing about changing placement. Tk::DynaTabFrame didn't seem to be what I wanted needed either.

Is this even possible? Should I be looking at a different GUI module? Or should I be looking higher up the food chain at say Tk::Widget to change the geometry here?

Thanks in advance!

If quizzes are quizzical, what are tests?
