In Tk we have the concept of widgets. Everything like canvas, menubar,
radio button, button, window is a widget. And fortunately many of them
have been given a quite intutive name (some are not e.g. combo box type
of widget is knows as Optionmenu).
If u have installed all the docs. The point to start is :
perldoc Tk
perldoc Tk::overview
perldoc Tk::UserGuide
"perldoc Tk" will also show u all the available Tk modules/geometry
managers/binding events etc.
Suppose u have a widget Canvas then
perldoc Tk::Canvas will list details about this widget.
U can also view the documentation on CPAN.
But if the above doesn't help u, u can refer to
"Learning Perl/Tk" by Nancy Walsh (Publishers: O'Reilly)
(It's the only book i have read on Perl/Tk, so i'm not sure if this is
the best)
The book is quite similar to the perldoc but has an excellent chapter
explaining geometry managers and also has been arranged in a nice way.
