in thread Help scrolling a series of textboxes with Tk

-orient: Yes. I meant that I was trying to add an 's' scrollbar to the original code offered by jeanine. But when I added it, instead of getting a horizontal scrollbar across the bottom I got a vertical scroll on the bottom! Which is why I attempted to use the -orient option which is listed in the perldoc (although no valid values are given for it), but failed on my installation.

And yes, stuffing things into Tk::Text widgets gets a bit tricky (since you have to remember things like wrapping)... which is why I pointed out Tk::Canvas-- but Canvas widgets require a lot more thought and planning to use effectively.
