I am developing a Perl Tk app and have created a nice background image that I want to display throughout for each screen. So I decided to use a Canvas widget to draw the background image then everything else on top of it. Well it looks great but even though I used Scrolled("Canvas") The window does not scroll when I reduce the resolution from 1280x800 to 1024x768 to 800x600.

I could create a background image for each size and check the screen size before I load the main screen and render the canvas according to the resolution. But i'm sure there is a better way to just make this Canvas scroll.

I've tried to use Scrolled, Pane, even attach scrollbars -- Nothing is scrolling this background image. Any suggestions, advice or the solution :-) would be appreciated.

use Tk;
my $mw = MainWindow->new;
my $mycanvas = $mw->Scrolled("Canvas",-width=>800, -height=>600, -scro
+llbars=>'se');

my $headerpicpath = $Bin."logo.gif";
my $pic = $mw->Photo(-file=>$headerpicpath);
$mycanvas->createImage(425,400,-image=>$pic);
