Thanks for the quick reply. If by spacer you mean Frame, then your suggestion is reassuring in that I can use it with a simple test program:
use warnings;
use strict;
use Tk 800.000;
my $mw = MainWindow->new;
my $menu = $mw->Menu();
my $file_menu = $menu->cascade(-label => 'File', -tearoff => 'false');
my $edit_menu = $menu->cascade(-label => 'Edit', -tearoff => 'false');
my $help_menu = $menu->cascade(-label => 'Help', -tearoff => 'false');
$mw->configure(-menu => $menu);
my $spacer = $mw->Frame(-width => 200)->pack;
# resize handle obscures Help menu
$mw->resizable(0,0);
MainLoop;
I'm now inclined to think I didn't get this to work earlier because there's something else in the program that prevents a packed spacer from working as expected. I know the menu's window is being resized programmatically (so that it is stretched horizontally across the screen); I will have to keep digging to figure this out. I am not the program's original author, and am still figuring out my way around both it and Perl and Tk.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
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).
