Tk-EntryCheck version 0.04 ========================== Since I sometimes develop Perl/Tk-Applications, I often need to check which characters and how many of them can be inserted into a Textfield called Tk-Entry. Well, you can do everything this module contains with the Tk::Entry-options -validate and -validatecmd, but this way it is easier by just providing one or two very simple options, e.g. use Tk; use Tk::EntryCheck; my $mw = MainWindow->new(); my $entry = $mw->EntryCheck( # some standard Entry-Options which are forwarded to Tk::Entry -width => 20, # and now the new options -maxlength => 10, # will accept a maximum of 10 chars as content -pattern => qr/\d/, # will accept only \d, nothing else ) ->pack(); MainLoop(); INSTALLATION To install this module type the following: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install DEPENDENCIES This module requires these other modules and libraries: Perl >= 5.5 Tk >= 8.0 COPYRIGHT AND LICENCE Put the correct copyright and licence information here.
