Well, you didn't show any code where it dosn't work. I would guess that it might be the odd way you embed your sub in the main code block, before MainLoop is called. I would write it as follows. If you can modify the code below, so it dosn't work right, please post it.

#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use Tk;


my $mw = MainWindow->new;
$mw->Button(-text => 'Select File', -command => \&org_select )->pack;

MainLoop;

sub org_select {

   my $filetypes =     [
            ['Drawing Files',    '.drg'],
            ['All files',    '*']
            ];

   my $select_file_full = $mw->getOpenFile(
            -filetypes  => $filetypes);
}

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• 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).
