Dear Monks,
I'm having issues with defining external paddings like I want.
#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w

use Tk;
my $mw =MainWindow ->new;
$mw -> Button()->grid(-row => 0, -column => 0, -padx => 10);
$mw -> Button()->grid(-row => 0, -column => 1, -padx => 10);
MainLoop;

My main problem is that the total padding between this two buttons is 20, but I want it to also be 10, of course without setting the external padding of both buttons to 5.
I guess one cannot set padx only for left or right side of the widget?
Btw. I'm experiencing the same "issue" with pady, but let's start with padx.
Hope I was clear enough?

Kind regards,
unknown-monk
