What keeps you from using Tks Dir chooser?

perl -MTk -e"tkinit->chooseDirectory"

    because I would loose functionality such as the ability to 'make a new folder' available from within the MFC control,shown here pic2

    Besides the specific control,I would like to leverage possible alternate or more rich functionality from other native controls

      Have you considered using Wx?

      Wx::DirDialog will give you the native style directory chooser, with the new folder option.
        this looks great.But I don't know how easy would be to port my existing code (the Tk related code takes ~590 lines) to this toolkit. But I will definitely start looking at it in future projects
