in thread Perl/Tk: Need Assistance with use of pack()

I've read the docs on pack but couldn't get my head around the 'parcels' and 'cavities' that were referred to. I couldn't get grid to work at all (my program would hang) and I haven't yet tried place. As I've said, I'm new to Tk and I'm just trying to understand how the module works.

Many thanks for your post.

John

    You can't mix pack() and grid() in the same frame or toplevel (this would cause your program hanging). Either use grid() all over the place or create a frame where you just use grid().
