Good Evening Esteemed Monks! I have a question and code posted below. I am trying to change the color of a button on its release. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use Tk;

my $mw = new MainWindow; 
my $label = $mw -> Label(-text=>"Hello World") -> pack();
my $button = $mw -> Button(-activebackground => 'red', -activeforegrou
+nd => 'black', -text => "Quit");
$button->bind('<ButtonPress-1>' => \&myexit);
$button->bind('<ButtonRelease-1>' => \&myexit2);
$button->pack;

$button->eventGenerate('<ButtonPress-1>');
$button->eventGenerate('<ButtonRelease-1>');

$mw->after(5000 => \&doit);
$mw->after(10000 => \&doit2);

sub doit {
     $button->focus;
     $button->eventGenerate('<ButtonPress-1>');
}

sub doit2 {
     $button->focus;
     $button->eventGenerate('<ButtonRelease-1>');
}

MainLoop;

sub myexit {
print time."\n";
}

sub myexit2 {
$button->configure(-background => "gray", -foreground => "black");
print time."\n";
}
