Hello, I have a small program I put together. Everything works fine except when I hit the UP button. It resets the volume back to zero. I am trying to grab the current volume and then add one with the up button click. Can someone help me? I would greatly appreciate it! 



#!/usr/bin/perl-w
use Tk;
use strict;
my $mw = MainWindow->new;
$mw->geometry("250x100");
$mw->title("Volume");
$mw->Label(-text=>'Volume Control UI')->pack(-side=> 'top');
$mw->Button(-text=>'SET', -command=>\&SetVol)->pack(-side=> 'left', -a
+nchor=> 'sw');
$mw->Button(-text=>'MUTE', -command=>\&VolumeMute)->pack(-side=> 'left
+', -anchor=> 'sw');
$mw->Button(-text=>'UP', -command=>\&SetVolPlus10)->pack(-side=>'left'
+, -anchor=>'sw');
my $Entry = $mw->Entry()->pack(-side=> 'left', -anchor=> 'sw', -pady=>
+ 3);
my $VolCur = q(/usr/bin/amixer get Master | grep -o "[0-9].%" | awk '!
+x[$0]++');
sub SetVol {
my $Etext = $Entry->get();
system("amixer set 'Master' $Etext");
}
sub VolumeMute {
system("amixer set 'Master' 0%");
}
my $UC = $VolCur;
sub SetVolPlus10 {
system($VolCur);
$UC+1;
system("amixer set 'Master' $UC");
}
MainLoop;
