=head2 How to contribute code?

Have spend a lot time of on a specific topic and it was
not at the end and RFTM?  Yes? Please least take
the time to post your solution to the perl/Tk mailing
list ptk@lists.stanford.edu.  So other can find it later
in the list archive http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/ptk/
If it's a common problem this may be even enough to enhance/extend
the perl/Tk FAQ

But wait there is more you can do without much afford:

	?? scripts. What's the status of CPAN/scripts ??

=item Perl/Tk Module List

is a central reference of modules B<and> scripts

    http://www.connect.net/gbarr/PerlTk/tk-modlist.html

Send a mail to <ptk@lists.standford.edu> and
Graham Barr <gbarr@pobox.com> that describes your contribution.

It's enough if would send your contribution on an e-mail request.
But there more ...

=item CPAN account

Simply send mail to ptk
	o handling of modules (widget) and scripts (applications)
	o send code to ptk for comments (widget name!, etc.)
	o Tk-modules list: register early (even if alpha)
	o CPAN account. Refer to docs how to do it
	o Tk-Contrib ask for addition on ptk (also happy users of
	  an widget for).  Use convenience method
	  before stuff gets lost.
	o Still to complicated? :-(  Then post at least your code
	  to ptk@lists.stanford.edu.  So other could find it later
	  in the list archive http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/ptk/

UserGuild.pod
=============

section Item creation:  Toplevel exception is a bit ambigious.
Before talks about 'visual' inclusion.  (Nevertheless Toplevel
is a child of the parent widget even is visual not true).

options.pod
===========

$var=$w->configure(-option) is not documented. But there's a
bug?  Tk::configure and Tk::Derived::configure don't do the
same, return value and optionname, repectively.

Menuoptions
===========

	Check args to -command callback. Doc by N.W. as
	first -textvariablethem -variable 11.25. IMO should
	be -variable first.  Check!

options.pod:

-takefocus:  Tclish callback describtion.  (uh! Try if this works
same in perl/tk)

CmdLine:

o09(0) ~/perl > perl -le 'use Tk; MainWindow->new();print @ARGV;MainLoop' -- -a b -bg green -- -c d
-ab-bggreen---cd
o09(0) ~/perl >

I think CmdLine should not stop argument processing as soon as
an unknown unknown switch is found.

Should be fixed and documented.  Also mention priority that the cmd line
switches have compared to -option name class and resource priority.

Name option:
===========
Theo Petersen <theo@acsp.com>:
Aha, the Name option does this.  I found it while searching docs for
anything that looked like it assigned a widget's name.  Oddly enough, I
found it in Tk::Pane's docs (thanks Graham) but not in any generic
documentation.  Have I missed it in some obvious place?  It's not
documentend in the Widget or options pod, where standard options are
listed (perhaps because it wasn't inherited from Tcl).

..Theo

Dialog:
=======

Docs still very tclish. (Mhmm Dialog should be derived from
DialogBox and then documented this way).

Menu:
=====

Check B<tearOffCommand> option.  Still tclish.
How is it implemented in perl/Tk.

Ditto desc in SPECIAL MENUS IN MENUBARS

Toplevel:
=========

So it should be moved to 14 The Window Manager or To Toplevel, MainWindow,
Menu (etc?).  And should be written as:

	$is_a_toplevel->Popup(?I<options>?)
