I must say, despite the advice in the Pickaxe book, I have not found  
perl/Tk documentation to be all that useful -- that may be because I  
don't know zip about perl. What I rely on, besides the Tcl/Tk man  
pages and the Tk documentation available on the web, are:

http://raa.ruby-lang.org/project/rubytk_en/
http://www.ruby-lang.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/ruby/ext/tk/sample/

I recommend you look at these sites.

No need for apologies. We all start from square one. I'm no Ruby/Tk  
expert. I'm on square two. I've asked even more elementary Ruby/Tk  
questions on this list myself and quite recently at that.
