    Hi,

    You can use the screenwidth and screenheight methods to get information about the screens geometry. Then use the geometry() method to place your main window.

    see Tk::Widget for documentation.

    Cheers, Christoph

      Use the following code 
      use strict;
use warnings;
use Tk;
# Main Window
my $mw = MainWindow->new;
$mw->geometry('+793+475');  
MainLoop;

        On my screen, (1920x1080) your code will put a window almost on the center :)

        Update: I guess your screen resolution is 1024x768 (or 1024x800).

        Regards, Stefan
