I don't use Windows, and I have a hard time understanding why you want to deiconify the $mw just to destroy it. Your script destroys the $mw fine on linux, with Perl 5.8.8 and the latest Tk. I am not sure why, but I have noticed in the past, that $mw->deiconify() often needs to be used in conjunction with $mw->raise.

On linux, if I comment out your $mw->destroy(), to see if control returns after the system, the $mw will NOT deiconify, and the system command just seems to hang ( which is the problem you are seeing? ).

But, if I put a raise after the deiconify, control returns.

$mw->deiconify; $mw->raise
So try adding a $mw->raise and see if it helps.

Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>

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.
