in reply to Perl TK performance issue

Ok, just an update, I have narrowed down the performance issue to the BrowseEntry widgets, if I comment out the BrowseEntry widgets then the window shows up almost instantly.

So it looks like BrowseEntry widgets (or at least the way I'm using them) are very cpu intensive.

What could be functionally equivalent but more efficient substitute widgets for the BrowseEntry widget?
