Re: Controlling resize of Tk::Panedwindow

For reference, the thread author opened an issue at the Perl/Tk GitHub repository: https://github.com/eserte/perl-tk/issues/75

While incorporating Tcl/Tk 8.5+ or Ttk into Perl/Tk continues to seem unlikely, I think backporting -stretch could be possible; will comment further on the GitHub issue.

Current Tcl::pTk and Tkx maintainer here. As I previously wrote: if the program in question is indeed an existing Perl/Tk program, then I agree trying Tcl::pTk(::TkHijack) is a much better choice than rewriting for Tkx. Tcl::Tk or Tcl::pTk might also be preferable for those already familiar with Perl/Tk but not Tkx. But if the program is instead being written from scratch by someone not already familiar with Perl/Tk, then I do think they could be better off following TkDocs.com tutorials for Tkx. And if someone still prefers using Perl/Tk, e.g. because of its relative ease of installation over Tcl/Tk wrappers like Tkx and Tcl::pTk, then backporting features to Perl/Tk can be investigated/attempted.
