Hi Henry,

Some time ago I wrote a Tk::MRUList ("MRU" = "Most Recently Used") which I 
often used with a file browser or directory browser. I only wrote a Win32 
backend that stored the MRUList entries in the Windows Registry and 
unfortunately didn't get round to packaging the modules for CPAN. 

The code is still available on sourceforge as part of an application 
called "tkfif" ("Tk Find in Files") which is a Windows app for searching 
trees of files for regexes. See...

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=27073&package_id=21688

Regards,
Michael Erskine.
