Short follow up for Drag&Drop with Tcl::pTk
The easiest way to add Drag&Drop to a Tcl::pTk application has been for me
using Tcl syntax, i.e.:
use Tcl::pTk;
my $int = new Tcl::pTk;
$int->Eval('package require tkdnd');#loading installed version of tkdnd
$int->Eval(<<'EOS');
text .drop_target
pack .drop_target
tkdnd::drop_target register .drop_target *
bind .drop_target <<Drop>> {.drop_target insert end %D}
EOS
$int->MainLoop;
