...you also might want to try the -anchor option.... a simple example of what you want would be helpful......but look at this
#!/usr/bin/perl use Tk; use strict; use warnings; my $mw = MainWindow->new( -bg => 'beige', ); my $l = $mw->Frame( -width => 111, -height => 333, -relief => "raised", -borderwidth => 2, -bg => '#EEE000', )->pack( -fill => 'x', -side => 'left', -anchor => 'n', ); my $r = $mw->Frame( -width => 111, -height => 333, -relief => "raised", -borderwidth => 2, -bg => '#F0F000', )->pack( -fill => 'both', -side => 'left', -anchor => 'n', ); my $r2 = $mw->Frame( -width => 111, -height => 333, -relief => "raised", -borderwidth => 2, -bg => '#F0F000', )->pack( -fill => 'both', -side => 'left', -anchor => 'n', ); for ( qw[Name: Version: Description: Date: ] ){ $l->Label( -text => $_, -justify => 'left', -anchor => 'w', )->pack( #-anchor => 'e', # if you don't fill -fill => 'x', ); $r->Label( -text => $_, # -justify => 'right', -anchor => 'e', )->pack( -anchor => 'e', # if you don't fill #-fill => 'x', ); $r2->Label( -text => $_, -justify => 'right', # -anchor => 'e', )->pack( #-anchor => 'e', # if you don't fill #-fill => 'x', ); } #$top->Label(-text => "Enter the scroll frame")->pack; MainLoop;
