Rajeev, Have a special look at the text widget Tk::Text. It provides already a lot of editor features. If you have special things to do in your editor (like specific context menu actions depending on the text content) you _may_ be faster than with customizing other editors, if you have good perl skills and are not used to an appropriate configurable editor. I did not use perl_tk for years... So don't ask me for details :-) But you can build feature rich GUI-applications in a fairly short time with perl_tk. joe -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
