OK, I guess a picture is worth apx 1,000 words

:D So first, words which don't paint a picture, and now, a picture of what you're able to accomplish by yourself?

before (multi line) perl -MTk -MTk::WidgetDump -e " $mw = tkinit; for(0..3){ $f = $mw->Frame(-bg => (qw/ red green blue orange /)[$_] )->pack(qw/-expand 1 -fill both /); $l = $f->Label(-text => qq/T$_/ ); $t = $f->Entry(-text => qq/E$_/); $_->pack(qw/-anchor nw /) for $l, $t; } $mw->WidgetDump; MainLoop "

after (same line) perl -MTk -MTk::WidgetDump -e " $mw = tkinit; for(0..3){ $f = $mw->Frame(-bg => (qw/ red green blue orange /)[$_] )->pack(qw/-expand 1 -fill both /); $l = $f->Label(-text => qq/T$_/ ); $t = $f->Entry(-text => qq/E$_/); $_->pack(qw/-anchor nw -side left /) for $l, $t; } $mw->WidgetDump; MainLoop "

after (same line, one stretchy ) perl -MTk -MTk::WidgetDump -e " $mw = tkinit; for(0..3){ $f = $mw->Frame(-bg => (qw/ red green blue orange /)[$_] )->pack(qw/-expand 1 -fill both /); $l = $f->Label(-text => qq/T$_/ ); $t = $f->Entry(-text => qq/E$_/); $l->pack(qw/-anchor nw -side left /); $t->pack(qw/-anchor nw -side left -fill x -expand 1 /); } $mw->WidgetDump; MainLoop "

grid alternative (grid is tricky ) perl -MTk -MTk::WidgetDump -e " $mw = tkinit; $f = $mw->Frame(qw/-bg red/)->pack(qw/-expand 1 -fill both /); for(0..3){ $l = $f->Label(-text => qq/T$_/ ); $t = $f->Entry(-text => qq/E$_/); $l->grid(-row => $_, qw/ -column 1 /); $t->grid(-row => $_, qw/ -column 2 -sticky news /); } $f->Label()->grid(qw/ -row 4 -column 2 -sticky news /); $f->gridColumnconfigure ( 2, -weight=>1); $f->gridRowconfigure ( 4, -weight=>1); $mw->WidgetDump; MainLoop "

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
