in reply to PERL/Tk Scrolled Textbox: How do I tell it to automatically scroll down?

How about turning your problem on it's head?

You may have already thought of this, or you might simply hate the idea - but how about printing the most recent items onto the front of the list instead of the end?

In other words, you'd only need to scroll the list to view the history, instead of the scrollbox scrolling to keep up with the most current event...

FWIW, I much prefer this behaviour for any sort of monitoring/status screen. But, each to their own though, I spose...
