Perl TK Scrollbar Issue

[clueo8]

I have this Read only Text window with a vertical scrollbar on the right side:

$script_output = $middle -> Scrolled ('ROText',
-height => 30, -width => 90,
-scrollbars => 'osoe',
-background => 'white')
-> pack();

I insert into this text box with:

  $script_output -> insert ('end', "My Text Sample");
  $script_output->idletasks;

I would like the scrollbar to scroll to the bottom (or the end) of my textbox everytime its filled and something new is added to it. Currently, it only adds stuff to fill the box, and the scroller gets smaller as data comes in, and the the box gets filled up. If i changed my insert from 'end' to '0.0', it puts the data in from the top, and it does sort of what I want it to do, but it would just make more sense with data to be added to the bottom.

Use "see" .....the scrollbar will go to the bottom of the textbox.

$script_output -> insert ('end', "My Text Sample");
$script_output -> see ('end');
