Nicely done.
A followup( to convert this to a running clock) should be easy and not too protracted a job.
- Remove (comment out) the mvalue in $wxGlobals{mValue}.
- Insert code to use localtime() to obtain $hour and $minute (as global vars).
- Write a routine to ensure those values have two digits.
- Use the (global) formatted $hour and $min in the sub do drawing{ instead of the hash element.
- And, of course, put the whole thing in a loop with a sleep 15 (or so, +/-) so the clock will update.
Of course, there are easier ways -- including perching a USD 2.49 (cheapo) clock in your view... and better than this top-of-the-head expression of enthusiasm for your "learning...taking place." :)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
