I can't create a new Gtk2 window

Muskovitz has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

i can't figure out why i can't create a new Gtk2 window here's the sample code

#!/usr/bin/perl
    use Gtk2 '-init';
    use Glib qw/TRUE FALSE/;

    my $window=Gtk2::Window->new;
    $window->signal_connect('delete_event',sub{Gtk2->main_quit;});

    my $vbox1=Gtk2::VBox->new;
    my $button=Gtk2::Button->new("Open a new Window");
    $button->signal_connect(clicked=>sub{
        &newWindow;
        });
    $vbox1->add($button);
    $window->add($vbox1);
    $window->show_all;
    Gtk2->main;
    sub newWindow{
        my $mw=Gtk2::Window->new('toplevel');
        $mw->set_default_size(250, 250);
        Gtk2->main;
    }

Try removing the `Gtk2->main` in the newWindow subroutine, and replace it with `$mw->show;`. You already have the `Gtk2->main` in main:: and you don't need it again.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
