Hoi, I just started with the Tk module and i am trying to get some text from an Entry widget to display on a label but it keeps being centered while i want it left aligned. I have been looking at internet sources but i can't bring it to work. Please help. Here is the code

use strict;
use warnings;
use Tk;

my $mw = MainWindow->new;
my $entry = $mw->Entry();
my $label = $mw->Label(-justify=>'left');
my $but1 = $mw->Button(-text=>"go",-command=>\&go);

$but1->place(-x=>10,-y=>10,-width=>50,-height=>20);
$entry->place(-x=>10,-y=>40,-width=>50,-height=>20);
$label->place(-x=>10,-y=>70,-width=>50,-height=>20);

MainLoop;

sub go{
    my $text = $entry->get;
    $label->configure(-text=>$text)};
