Poition tk DialogBox button?

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

How would I position the Cancel button in my tk DialogBox? By default it is in the bottom and centered. I want it on the bottom and to the right. I read its in a ?widget/frame? called bottom, but I'm not sure how what code to write to get that widget/frame then style/position the button. Thanks! I copied my code below for the dialogbox:

my $dialog = $mw->DialogBox(-title => 'My Dialogue Box!',-buttons =>['
+Continue']);
$dialog->geometry( "400x200" ); #WIDTH x HEIGHT
$dialog->resizable( 0, 0 ); #(0, 0) means not resizable     
bottom->Frame(-relief=>'ridge', -border=>1)->pack(-fill => 'x', -padx=
+> 0, -pady=> 0);
$dialog->protocol('WM_DELETE_WINDOW',sub{return;});
my $topDialog_frame = $dialog->Frame(-relief=>'ridge', -border=>1)->pa
+ck(-fill => 'x', -padx=> 0, -pady=> 0);
my $middleDialog_frame = $dialog->Frame(-relief=>'ridge', -border=>1)-
+>pack(-fill => 'x', -padx=> 0, -pady=> 0);
$topDialog_frame->Label(-text=>'Test 1',-font=>'Helvetica 9 bold')->pa
+ck(-anchor=> 'w', -ipadx=> 3, -ipady=> 3,);
$middleDialog_frame->Label(-text=>'Test 2',-font=>'Helvetica 9 bold')-
+>pack(-anchor=> 'w', -ipadx=> 3, -ipady=> 3,);     
my $item = $dialog->Show();

run the Tk demo program "widget" check out the examples, also see Tk::grid Tk::pack Perl::Tk, a question about pack geometry manager `perl -MTk -e " $mw = tkinit; $mw->Text->pack; $mw->Button->pack( qw( - +anchor se ) ); MainLoop"` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

If you would post a complete working example, maybe one of us could show you your packing error, but to ask us to flesh out your code fragment, is too much. I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth. Old Perl Programmer Haiku ................... flash japh	[reply]

`my $bframe = $dialog->Subwidget('bottom'); for ($bframe->children) { $_->packForget; $_->pack(-side => 'right', -padx => 3, -pady => 3, ) }` [download] Cheers, Christoph	[reply] [d/l]
