Why do you think that Perl couldn't find `displayMsg`? The debug output certainly shows that it was found and called. If Perl couldn't find a subroutine, it would have raised an error which the OP would have seen.	[reply] [d/l]

Probably that in Tk methods, Tk prefer to have the address of the functions (object reference).	[reply]

But that's what `sub { ... }` already returns. There is no need to have a subroutine reference that itself returns another subroutine reference when called, especially when you want the function call to happen instead.	[reply] [d/l]
