Tk module geometry window size question 1

[hd65]

Hi,
Here is waht I have:
use strict;
use Tk;

my $mw = MainWindow->new;
my $width = "1024";
my $height = "768";
$mw->geometry("$widthx$height+0+0"
$mw->title("WOProj"

MainLoop;

The geometry line should make the window width=1024 height=768.
but I can't get the quotes right.
the way it is the first variable is $widthx which is not right....How would I set this line to
$mw->geometry("1024x768+0+0"
by the way this works..Just not with the variables
thanks
paul

Try adding {} around the $width variable like this:

$mw->geometry("${width}x$height+0+0"

Good answer raider. Using curly brackets is a trick that not many people know.

Paul: Make sure that the $ stays OUTSIDE of the brackets, otherwise it won't work right. Tracy Dryden
