Re^2: Get a Tk Button to align left in a frame

Is that because the frame is only as big as the button unless you manipulate it via something like -fill?

Yes. You can see that effect if you also set -highlightbackground and -highlightthickness:

my $fA = $mw->Frame(
                -background => 'purple',
                -highlightbackground => 'maroon',
                -highlightthickness  => '1',
                    )->pack(
                        -side => 'bottom',
                        #-fill => 'x',
                            );

You will see a maroon border around the button - but that's the border of the frame. If you cycle the elements of that window with <Tab>, you will see that the black line around the button is 2 pixels thick - that is because the frame and the button are highlighted, visible if you add a -highlightcolor to your frame, of if you let it fill in x direction.
