Perl TK Geometry Manager Place

mikasue has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Does anyone know how to use the PLACE geometry manager in perl/tk? When I use it instead of pack, nothing shows up. Am I missing an option?

$tlframe->Label(-text=>$tlb)->place(-x=>0, -y=>0);

The follwing works as expected for me: `use strict; use warnings; use Tk; my $mw = MainWindow->new (-title => "Place demo"); $mw->Label (-text=> 'Some sample text')->place (-x=>0, -y=>0); MainLoop ();` [download] Perhaps you need to show a little more code. Something about as long at the sample that shows the probelm would be good. DWIM is Perl's answer to Gödel	[reply] [d/l]

The grid option worked as I desired. Thanks!	[reply]

"place" should work just fine; I think you're trying to use two geometry managers at the same time, but show more code to be certain.	[reply]
