Tk_Multi is a set of Tk composite widget to allow you to manage several scrolled Text or Canvas (or your own Multi widget) widgets in your Toplevel window. The manager allows you to hide or show any managed text window through a menu. Tk::Multi::* widgets also have buttons to increase, decrease the window size, and a menu to print its content. The Multi::Any module can be inherited to define your own widget which will be managed by Tk::Multi::Manager. This module was written with perl5.004 and now works fine with Tk402.003. See the embedded documentation in the module for more details. Comments and suggestions are always welcome. Note that this module is in beta state. Its interface may still change (but I don't think so) Beta exit criteria: - When some peoples (well, say 10 guys) tell me that they've used it and did not find major bug with the module or minor problems with the interface. Many thanks to Larry W. Virden, Achim Bohnet for all the tests, patches (and reports) they made. Many bugs were fixed and improvements were included thanks to their efforts.
