Still messing with pTk, but decided to try my hand at a simple mail client (more or less, type a message and click send, but still... ;)). Anyway, I just got the shell coded in (very basic), but ran into a problem. I can get the proper variables from the "from" and "title" lines, but I'm stuck on the message itself.

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use Tk;

my ($from_val, $title_val);

my $mail_mw = MainWindow->new(-title => 'E-mail');

# create button frame

my $mail_button = $mail_mw->Frame()->pack(-side => 'bottom');

$mail_mw->Label(-text => "From:")->pack(-padx => '1c', -anchor => 'w')
+;
my $from = $mail_mw->Entry(-textvariable => \$from_val,
        -width => 32)->pack();

$mail_mw->Label(-text => "Title:")->pack(-padx => '1c', -anchor => 'w'
+);
my $title = $mail_mw->Entry(-textvariable => \$title_val,
        -width => 32)->pack();

$mail_mw->Label(-text => "Message:")->pack(-padx => '1c', -anchor => '
+w');
my $message = $mail_mw->Text(-width => 32, -height => 5)->pack();

# buttons
my $send = $mail_button->Button(-text => "Send",
        -command => \&send )->pack(-side => 'left');
my $cancel = $mail_button->Button(-text => "Cancel",
        -command => sub { $mail_mw->destroy } )->pack(-side => 'left')
+;

MainLoop;

sub send {
    print "From: $from_val\nTitle: $title_val";
}

The "From" and "Title", if filled out, will print what's in them. I can't however figure out how to display the contents of $message! I know it's something very stupid and obvious, but I'm killing my brain on it =/ Any advice on that?
