Dear monks,

I am playing around with TK::Tablematrix. I can't figure out how to dynamically wrap text on multiple lines. Let say I inser values into a table. A cell can't display all the value on one line. What I want is that the raw high is changed so that 2 lines are displayed.

#!perl -w
use Tk::TableMatrix;
use Tk;

my $var = {};
my $text="bla1 bla2 bla3 bla4";
foreach my $row  (0..4){
  foreach my $col (0..4){
    $var->{"$row,$col"} = "$text $col";
  }

}

my $mw=tkinit;
my $tm = $mw->Scrolled('TableMatrix',
  -scrollbars=>'osoe',
  -bg=>'white',
  -rows=>3,
  -cols=>3,
  -wrap=>1,
  -multiline=>1,
  -variable=>\$var)->pack(-expand=>1, -fill=>'both');

This is just a simple script. Let say my $text is not static as in the example, but can change from short (no need of a second line) to very long (need of multiple lines). What I am overseeing? Thanks, cla
