in reply to Win32 Tk::TableMatrix CTRL+c bug?

Just guessing, but I didn't see you mention if you have Tcl installed. Tk::TableMartix says in its doc that it can only use a Tcl Array or Tcl command. It is just me, but I think the author of the module should throw an exception if it can find Tcl in addition to embedding it in the Docs.

Install Tcl? ... I haven't had time to learn it so I am of no help on that advice.

There are other Table like modules in Tk, that don't depend on Tcl. I use Tk::HList for such tasks. Perhaps other monks have a few ideas.

    Tk::TableMatrix does not need Tcl (as other Perl/Tk widgets, too). All "Tcl" bits in the documentation are probably left-overs of the original Tcl doc.

      That is great news! Would you please post a tested example that works under Win32 w/ ActiveState's perl distribution like the posted question? I would be very interested in learning how to use Widgets designed for Tcl without having Tcl installed :) Thanks!

        I don't understand your question: the posted example works (except apparently for some Tk versions under Windows). If you want to know how to port widgets designed for Tcl/Tk, then you have to look at the source code of Tk::TableMatrix, but I have to warn you, it's not that simple...
