You must have the 'tile' package in use.  We provide the tkkit version 
details in the 'tkkit'

Yes, and I would recommend g_grid.  You have to use grid 
column/rowconfigure to get the fine-grained weighting (stretching) 
control, e.g.:

Tkx::grid(rowconfigure => $mw, 1, -weight => 1);
Tkx::grid(columnconfigure => $mw, 0, -weight => 1);

Will stretch all items in row 1 vertically, and all items in col 0 
horizontally.
