Tk:Canvas - Arc with an arrow?

[cmv]

Monks-

How can I create an arc (-style=>'chord') with an arrow on the end, in a Perl-Tk canvas?

This sounded like a simple thing for me to answer. It's turning into a quagmire. Here's where I've been so far:

Arrow option on $can->createArc()? Nope - arrow option on line items only.

Make an arc out of a bunch of lines (needed to ask in CB for math formula).

Duh, CB suggestion to put a small line on end of arc, with arrow! Good thinking..., but wait - I can't figure out how to do this, since there's no way I know of to get the coords of the end of the arc to attach a line to (you only get coords of a rectangle that encloses the arc). Back to bunch-o-lines strategy.

Built bunch-o-lines prototype (see attached), but arrowhead doesn't follow curve, and there's no way to rotate the arrowhead.

Thinking I could create a really short line right at the end, that orients the arrow in the correct direction. Started thinking there has to be a better way. Decided to ask for Monk's help.

Any thoughts are much appreciated.

Thanks
