Hello

I am trying to override the Paste function on a macOS, but with no success. I want to read the value in the Pasteboard, modify it, and paste it. With the following the content of the unmodified value of Pasteboard is still inserted in the Text widget. Only by Pasting the second time the modified value is inserted. Any suggestion?

use Tk;
use Mac::Pasteboard;
$mw = MainWindow->new();

my $t = $mw->Scrolled('Text', -width => 40, -height => 10, -wrap => 'c
+har', -bd => '1', -scrollbars => 'e')->pack(-expand => 1, -fill => 'b
+oth', -pady => 2, -padx => [2,0]);

$t -> bind("<<Paste>>", sub{

my $CLIP = Mac::Pasteboard->new();

    #reading what is in the pasteboard
    my ($data, $flags) = $CLIP->paste ();
    #modifying value
    $data .= '_ADDED';
    #setting new value
    $CLIP->clear ();
    $CLIP->copy($data);    

});

MainLoop;
