in thread Perl Tk Scrolled widget callbacks

Hi
My problem is that, I have to find a solution with this Scrolled text area only. This custom "popup do the work" is wonderful but I have to fit it into my code which is using Scrolled widget. Changing the 'Scrolled' thing is not an option for me

    The example I gave above works with a Scrolled Text widget as well. Just change the line
    my $txt = $mw->Text()->pack(-side => 'top'); #to my $txt = $mw->Scrolled('Text')->pack(-side => 'top');
    Another option is to bind mouse button 3 ( right click ) to the $mw to do your change. Supressing the Text menu is up to you.
    #!/usr/bin/perl use Tk; my $mw = MainWindow->new; my $txt = $mw->Scrolled('Text')->pack(-side => 'top'); $mw->bind('<Button-3>', sub { print "main control 3 \n" }); MainLoop;

    I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth.
