Getting coordinates in a scrolled canvas

rzer10 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

How do you get XY coordinates in a scrolled Canvas object? $Tk::event->x and $Tk::event->y work fine for normal un-scrolled Canvas objects. But in a scrolled Canvas, the event methods only give to the coordinates to the upper left corner in the view. It does not take into account the scroll location. I am out of ideas and would greatly appreciate any suggestions.

OK, I think I got it finally. For anyone interested, its $canvas->canvasx($Tk::event->x), $canvas->canvasy($Tk::event->y).	[reply]
