ok, will note to myself how to do and what to explain in future...
up to now, I did this incorrectly (for example at
http://perlmonks.org/?node_id=416925)

I had an idea to make some other patches to go into next release (mostly to
make 'tcltkdb' working, and some documentation additions that will explain
how to easily extend Tcl::Tk) but I'll postpone those to next release, which
is probably will be at the very beginning of 2005.

So, thank you all for your good addition, I did release to CPAN,
also another incremental version is to be within January.

I really appreciate all your help, and also I am glad of new comings in
Tcl/Tk 8.5 (so Combobox behaving better, and many other good features), so
I'll certainly will discuss those in Perl's discussion site.


Happy new year to everybody!

Best regards,
Vadim.
