Curious, is there a module or a Tk Option I can use to center the initial MainWindow ($mw). When I run the current code, the $mw pops up in a fairly random place, yet the DialogBox shows up dead center. This gets a little visually startling.

The code now looks like this:

#!perl -w
=pod
IP & Hostname GUI Program
v .3
slojuggler
=cut

#use strict;
use Socket;
use Sys::HostIP;

#For hostname
use Sys::Hostname;

print "@INC" . "\n";

my $ipaddr = hostip;
print "Mine: $ipaddr \n";

my $hostnm = hostname();
print "Host $hostnm \n";

use Tk;
use Tk::DialogBox;

my $mw = MainWindow->new;
$mw->title("Your IP Info");
$mw->Label(-text=>"IP Address -> $ipaddr")
                 ->pack(-fill => 'x',
                           -side=>"top",
                            -ipadx=>20);
$mw->Label(-text=>"Hostname -> $hostnm")
                 ->pack(-fill => 'x',
                           -side=>"top");
$mw->Button(-text=>"Done!", -command=> sub { exit } ) -> pack (-side=>
+"bottom");

#Somehow pass the $mw to the do_toplevel routine, to keep in step with
+ use strict
#$mw->Button(-text=>"About...", -command=> sub { \&do_toplevel ????? }
+ ) -> pack (-side=>"bottom");
$mw->Button(-text=>"About...",
                   -command => sub { do_toplevel($mw) }) -> pack (-sid
+e=>"bottom"); 
MainLoop();

exit();

sub do_toplevel {
    my $mainwindow = shift;
    my $dialog = $mainwindow->DialogBox(-title => "About...", -buttons
+ => ["OK"]);
    my $label = $dialog->add('Label', -text=>"V1.2")->pack(-fill=> 'x'
+,  -side=>"top");
    $dialog->Show;
=pod
    my $tl = $mainwindow->Toplevel();
   $tl->title("About...");
    $tl->Button(-text => "Close",
                     - command => sub {$tl->destroy})->pack;
    $tl->waitWindow();
=cut
    
}
