briannz556 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I'm new to Perl and learning its inticacies every waking hour of the day. I've just bought the IDE Komodo and whilst trying to use the Iwidget combobox in Tkx I got stuck. I have rudimentary knowledge of Perl, as I say, but none of TCL. My question (and forgive me if this is the wrong venue for asking it) is how do I populate the list values for the combobox?

    We'll know better whether you've asked the right people if you'll show us some actual perl code that you are trying to work on, and indicate where you are missing something or getting something wrong.

    If it's not perl code that needs fixing, then you've asked the wrong people.

    We're not asking for lots of code -- we're hoping that the problem will be apparent in a small, self-contained snippet.

      Think I'm in the wrong area then. It's not the actual Perl code I need to write but what part of the Iwidget gets populated. Sorry for troubling you guys.

    Well, this is the correct venue for getting questions about Perl. So to your question, I cannot speak to Tkx since I have not used it, but from the documentation it appears that Tkx is really best suited for people already familiar with Tcl/Tk. As you are not, you may want to look at the regular Tk collection of modules.
