Hello, all,

I have a Tk megawidget that looks like this: 
package ChecklistFrame;

use strict;

use Tk::widgets qw/Button Label/;
use base qw/Tk::Frame/;

Construct Tk::Widget 'ChecklistFrame';

sub ClassInit
  {
    my($class, $mw) = @_;
    $class->SUPER::ClassInit($mw);
  }

sub Populate
  {
    my($self, $args) = @_;

    $self->SUPER::Populate($args);

    my($type) = $args->{'-type'};
    delete $args->{'-type'};

    if (($type eq 'item') || ($type eq 'header'))
      {
        
        $self->Component(
             'Button'     => 'runbutton',
             -pady        => 0,
             -text        => 'Run'
            )->pack(-side => 'left');
        $self->Component(
             'Button'     => 'nabutton',
             -pady        => 0,
             -text        => 'N/A'
            )->pack(-side => 'left');
        $self->Component(
             'Label'      => 'label',
             -justify     => 'left'
            )->pack(-side => 'left', -anchor => 'w');

      }
    elsif ($type eq 'label')
      {
        $self->Component(
             'Label'      => 'label',
             -relief      => 'raised'
            )->pack(-side => 'left', -fill => 'both', -expand => 1);
      }

    my($l) = $self->Subwidget('label');

    $self->ConfigSpecs(
               -text     => [$l],
               -class    => [$self],
               'DEFAULT' => [$self]
              );

    $self->Delegates(
             'DEFAULT'   => $self
            );
  }

My problem is that the label is always centered. If I have a simple little example program that looks like this: 
my($mw) = MainWindow->new();

$currentframe = $mw->ChecklistFrame(
                    -class => 'Checklist',
                    -type  => 'item',
                    -text  => 'Foo'
                   );

$elementtext = 'Foo!';

$currentframe->pack();

MainLoop;

Everything looks as it should, but the text is centered in its section of the widget, rather than up against the edge of the nabutton.

Any suggestions?
