Hello Monks, Happy New Year!! I have a very strange problem. My entry widgets do not take any input. I was previously working on 5.12, so i thought may be enhancing the version may help. But no, today i tried on 5.18.1, same results.. Can anybody please helppppp? 


use Tk;
use strict;

my %info = ();
my $mw = MainWindow->new;
$mw->title("Data Entry");
my $f = $mw->Frame->pack(-side => 'bottom');
$f->Button(-text => "Exit",
-command => sub { exit; })->pack(-side => 'left');

$f->Button(-text => "Save",
-command => sub { # do something with %info;
})->pack(-side => 'bottom');

foreach (qw/Name Address City State Zip Phone Occupation
                Company Business_Address Business_Phone/) {
        $f->Entry(-width => 20, -textvariable => \$info{$_})->pack;
}

MainLoop;
