How to get rid of a TopLevel window

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

Dear Fellow Monks
I have this top-level form that contains a number of radio buttons and an OK button. How can get this frame to disappear once a radio button selection was made and the ok button was pressed?
I have tried ‘destroy’ but it only clears the contents on the frame rather than getting rid of it completely.
Can some one please help me? And many thanks indeed.

my $toplevel = $tk{mw}-> Toplevel;
    my $top_frame = $toplevel-> Frame;
    my $folder_level;
    my $subfolder_level;
    my $frame_label = $top_frame-> Label(-text=> 'Please select the AC
+E permission type');
    my @pl = qw/-side top -pady 2 -anchor w/;
    $top_frame-> pack (@pl);            
    foreach my $p ('No Access', 'List', 'Read', 'Add' ,'Add & Read', '
+Change','Full Controll','Special Directory Accesss','Special File Acc
+ess')
    {
        $top_frame->Radiobutton( -text     => "ACE :  $p",
                                                        -variable => \
+ $folder_level,
                                                        -relief   => '
+flat',
                                                        -value    => $
+p, )->pack(@pl);                                                     
+             
    }
    my $ok_buttn = $top_frame-> Button(-text=>'OK', 
                                                            -borderwid
+t=>5, 
                                                            -width=>10
+, 
                                                            -command=>
+ sub{print "\n$folder_level\n";
                                                                      
+                  $top_frame->distroy; } )-> pack;

Assuming that you want to get rid of the entire window (not just the frame widget inside the window), you need to destroy the top-level window, like so: `$toplevel->destroy;`	[reply] [d/l]

Change `$top_frame->destroy;` to `$toplevel->destroy;` and it will work. You see you are destroying the frame in the new TopLevel window but not the new TopLevel window itself. Update: BlueBlazerRegular beat me to it... That's what I get for trying an example out before posting it. ;)	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Well, I had the advantage of having my code up in VIM already, so I just had to do `/destroy` to make sure I had things right. As past experience has taught, the one time you don't look something up is the time you'll get it wrong. Pat	[reply] [d/l]
