This solution is acceptable, but not perfect. For some reason the dialog buttons stick to the right side of the window.

Tk::DialogBox mentions you have no control over appearance of buttons, from experience I know this is just following Tcl/Tk tradition , so I won't go digging to see where this is explained in Tk docs (its not in the obvious places)

In the meantime I found an alternative at http://tktable.sourceforge.net/tile/doc/dialog.html ...
package require ttk::dialog
[download]
from Tcl/Tk to Perl/Tkx. Hopefully one of you monks can help me along again.

You probably don't have that installed, so the following won't help

 
$ perl -MTkx -e " Tkx::package_require(q/ttk::dialog/); "
can't find package ttk::dialog at -e line 1.
[download]

Even the undocumented (raw tcl commands) don't work

$ perl -MTkx -e " Tkx::i->interp->Eval(q/package require ttk::dialog/)
+ "
can't find package ttk::dialog at -e line 1.
[download]

Safe to say ttk::dialog doesn't come standard (esp with activeperl) so you'd have to install it yourself if its possible. See also

Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


Come for the quick hacks, stay for the epiphanies.
