Description: Sticky notes in Perl/Tk. Crude but effective. Hit 'new' to make a new note, 'saved' to show all notes you've written and closed. Saves in ~/.ptknotes

    The following line:
    $main_new=$main->Button(-text=>"New",-command=>'newnote', -padx=>0,-pady=>0)->pack;
    caused problems running this on a Win32 environment, but changing it to:
    $main_new=$main->Button(-text=>"New",-command=>sub{newnote;}, -padx=>0,-pady=>0)->pack;
    ran perfectly.

    Also, and this is just my own aesthetic preference, changing the geometry size of the notes to 100x100 makes them look a little more sticky-noteish, but that's just me.

    xjar
