Hello Guys, I have a problem using Perl TK. I wanna arrange my buttons and entry's using "pack". I would like to have my button under the "third" entry not after all my entry lines. Is using "pack" the way to go? And also how can i call another perl script in the GUI and save the outputs inside a variable. qx() command is not working. I am new to this language and i would appreciate some advices/solutions. Thank you in advance!

#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w
use strict; 
use Tk;
use Tk::ProgressBar;
# Main Window
my $mw = new MainWindow;
$mw->geometry("1600x900");

#GUI Building Area
my $label = $mw ->Label (-text => "first", -foreground => "blue", -fon
+t => "Arial 7") ->pack(-fill => 'x');
$label    = $mw ->Label (-text => "second", -foreground => "blue", -fo
+nt => "Arial 12") ->pack(-fill => 'x');
$label    = $mw ->Label (-text => "third", -foreground => "blue", -fon
+t=> "Arial 10") ->pack (-side => 'left', -anchor => 'nw', -ipadx => '
+50', -fill => 'x');
$label    = $mw ->Label (-text => "forth", -foreground => "blue", -fon
+t=> "Arial 10")->pack (-side => 'left', -anchor => 'nw', -ipadx => '1
+50', -fill => 'x');
$label    = $mw ->Label (-text => "fifth", -foreground => "blue", -fon
+t => "Arial 10")->pack (-side => 'left', -anchor => 'nw', -ipadx => '
+150', -fill => 'x');
$label    = $mw ->Label (-text => "last", -foreground => "blue", -font
+=> "Arial 10")->pack (-side => 'left', -anchor => 'nw', -ipadx => '15
+0', -fill => 'x');
