Tk::MiniScale A miniature Tk::Scale used when the user doesn't really care about the actual value of the variable they are modifying. In other words - they just want to increase or decrease *something* by a relative amount. This implies that less precision is needed and therefore less space can be used to draw this widget. i.e. the increment per pixel can be higher than in a normal scale Install like you would any other perl module (where X.X is the version number you have downloaded): gzip -d Tk-MiniScale-X.X.tar.gz tar -xvf Tk-MiniScale-X.X.tar cd Tk-MiniScale-X.X perl Makefile.PL make make test #see NOTE below make install For Windows and ActiveState Perl, replace "make" with "nmake". If you do not have the Visual C++ compiler available or have nmake installed on your system then just copy the following files to C:\Perl\lib\site\Tk : MiniScale.pm Send bug reports, comments and suggestions to dunniganj@cpan.org.
