Ok... Got it working!

So this is what I've found out this morning testing the set_url_hook() function. Seems that whatever is set in "$about_window->set_website($url);" for the $url variable will get passed to the "open_url()" sub which is an argument to the "$about_window->set_url_hook("open_url");" function, which is a subroutine.

So with these 2 commands I can now successfully open the URL in a browser when I click on the link:
      ### 1st we need to define HOOK before we set the website:
      #     *open_url() is a Subroutine:
      $about_window->set_url_hook("open_url");

      ### Now we call the set_website() function:
      #     *The $website var will be passed as an ARG to open_url():
      $about_window->set_website($website);

    # This receives 2 Args:
    #     ARG[0] --> AboutDialog Widget
    #     ARG[1] --> $website
    sub open_url() {
        my ($widget, $url) = @_;
        print "   url == $url\n";
        print "Widget == $widget\n\n";
        open_browser($url);
    }

So now it seems everything is working as expected...! Thanks again Crackers, if you hadn't posted your example of the set_url_hook("open_broswer", $url) it probably would have taken me much longer to find that's how the syntax should be for that set_url_hook() Function's Arguments...!


So thanks again for the reply, much appreciated!


Thanks Again,
Matt
