Hi, yeah, I've adopted tk-clock along time ago for my clock. I have a very minimalist desktop, and all I wanted was a tiny digital clock in the lower right hand corner. It also stays on top across my 10 virtual desktops. I've shown how to cut off the date too. I have a 1024x768 desktop, so you may have to adjust the geometry for your desktop.

#!/usr/bin/perl
use Tk;
use Tk::Clock;

my $m = MainWindow->new();
#$m ->  geometry("70x30+930+740"); #with date 
$m ->  geometry("70x15+940+755"); #no date 
$m->overrideredirect(1); #no xterm decorations 
my $c = $m->Clock (-background => "Black");
$c->config (
    useAnalog  => 0,
    useDigital => 1,
#    tickColor => "Orange", 
#    handColor => "Red", 
#    secsColor => "Green", 
    timeColor => "lightBlue",
#    timeFormat => "hh:MM A", 
     timeFormat => "HH:MM:SS",
#    dateColor => "Gold", 
#    dateFormat => "m/d/y", 
    timeFont  => "-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--13-*-75-75-c-*-iso8859-
+1",
    );
$c->pack;

MainLoop;

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
