in reply to Perl Tk Insert

The question based on the code below why does each item appear as a separate drop down list instead of ALL in one drop down list?

That code doesn't run, but I would guess its because that is what the code tells it to do -- you create browseentry widgets in a loop -- you'll get more than one widget

    Even the following code produces the same output 

    open(FILE, "DATA/carownerdata.txt");
my @lines=<FILE>;
close(FILE);

while ( my $lines = <@lines> ) {
chomp (@lines);
my @owner = split( /\:/, $lines);

$personRight->BrowseEntry(-width=>20,-borderwidth=>2,
        -relief=>'sunken',-textvariable=>\$perInfo->{CAROWNER},state=>
+'disabled',
        -foreground=>'black',-background=>'white')->pack()->insert( 'e
+nd', $owner[1]);
}

      Even the following code produces the same output

      Yes, I believe it does, its not much different from the code you originally posted, so they should both do the same thing

      Is that a satisfactory answer? How can I improve my answer?
