in reply to Windows IME use

I've never used an IME, but if this is what you're talking about, you don't need to do anything special in your perl program, but you do need to have a unicode capable version of Tk (Tk-804.027 ought to do).

MJD says "you can't just make shit up and expect the computer to know what you mean, retardo!"
I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6.x and 5.8.x -- I take requests (README).
** The third rule of perl club is a statement of fact: pod is sexy.
