`#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use Tk; my $mw = MainWindow->new(); my $c = $mw->Canvas(-width => 600, -height => 600); $c->pack; MainLoop;` [download] I hope this helps.	[reply] [d/l]

Well, you can set it that way: `my $MW = MainWindow->new( -height => 600, -width => 600 );` [download] or `my $MW = MainWindow->new; $MW->geometry( "600x600" );` [download] but if you arrange items that don't fit into that size, your window will enlarge in perldoc Tk::Wm the methods ->maxsize and ->minsize could be interesting for you Best regards, perl -e "s>>F>e=>y)\martinF)stronat)=>print,print v8.8.8.32.11.32"	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I believe the problem with your code lies in the quotes around the numeric values. Try: `my $MW = MainWindows->new(-width=>600, -height=>600);` [download] Cheers, Akoya	[reply] [d/l]
