I'm sure that this is not possible. That is to say, this is not possible with the standard distribution. This seems to be a perfect opportunity to "give something back" to your fellow perl/tk community members, by editing the Tk::Text module yourself.

Just a thought. I'm not sure which would be easier. Doing that, or doing what you said and adding code around Tk::Text to make two of these beasts share nice. Since it doesn't seem to "interesting" to have two identical text widgets, I'm thinking you would want to probably add your code around this anyway, because do you really want them exactly the same??

Anyway, good luck. I'm a big fan of perl/tk so let me know if you have other questions.
