I am working with manipulating text files in Perl, not with Web. I need to be able to take a given string of text, and given a font name and size (ideal other options as well), to output the length of the string in pixels (or whatever unit) as it would appear in the font. I have looked the Tk module and on the web extensively. I cannot find a clear description of its use at all. Here is my [sample] code:
<code>#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use Tk;
my $happy = "This is my example sentence";
# I want the measurement of the above string in pixels given a font face and font size</code>
Thanks for the help.
