You could also use -textvariable with your Entry widget.
#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use Tk; my $name; my $main = MainWindow->new(); $main->Label(-text=>"Company Name:")->pack(); my $entry = $main->Entry(-textvariable => \$name)->pack; $entry->focus(); $main->Button(-text=>"Continue", -command=> sub {$main->destroy;})->pa +ck(); $main->Button(-text=>"Cancel", -command => sub {exit})->pack(); $main->bind('<Return>' => sub {$main->destroy}); MainLoop; die "$name";

Update
Oops... I forgot to put in the reason for the first code not working -- the problem is that the "$name = $entry->get();" line is being executed before there is a value in the Entry widget (You can't use the interface before the MainLoop;)

Here is a "fix" for the first example:

#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use Tk; my $name; my $main = MainWindow->new(); $main->Label(-text=>"Company Name:")->pack(); my $entry = $main->Entry()->pack; $entry->focus(); $main->Button(-text=>"Continue", -command=> sub {$name = $entry->get() +;$main->destroy;})->pack(); $main->Button(-text=>"Cancel", -command => sub {exit})->pack(); $main->bind('<Return>' => sub {$main->destroy}); MainLoop; die "$name";

Update 2
Yeah, what arden said. *Smiles*

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
