ITP: libtk-dirselect-perl #509608

Hello

Unless somebody objects (or propose an already packaged suitable
replacement), I'm going to package Tk::DirSelect. I need it for
Config::Model GUI (future lib-config-model-tkui package).

This module provide GUI like Tk::FileSelect, but dedicated to
directory (i.e. no file selection is allowed).

For details, see
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=509608

All the best

I've tried the chooseDirectory method, but directory creation does not
work (worse, the -mustexist option triggers an exception). So I'd
rather use Tk::DirSelect.

If chooseDirectory gets fixed, I'll have no problem in dropping
Tk::DirSelect.

ok. No problem.

Oops. I'll try not to forget this one for lib-config-model-tkui.

Thanks
