here's my code: 
use Tk;

my $mw = Tk::MainWindow->new;
my $fr = $mw->Frame(-label=>"myframe");
my $l1 = $fr->Label(-text=>"label1");
my $l2 = $fr->Label(-text=>"label2");
$fr->grid;
$l1->grid;
$l2->grid;

MainLoop;

Running that ends up in a freeze (and 100% cpu load).
But this is not about competing layout managers, at least not explicitly.
Exchanging all grid calls to pack makes the application run as expected.
Making the labels direct daughters of the main window (as in the examples in those tutorials) also works fine.
It's not about grids arguments: I tried a lot of variations, no chance.
My question: How can I layout a set of widgets within a frame using grid ?
I'd like to use the $widget->grid(-row=>2,-column=>3)-style of using grid.

thanks for any hint !
