This is a tk based mysql application.The problem In this application is that i want to retrieve the value of $sequenceid from $country,$province and $region.i.e if user enters 1st sequence and he enter region Asia, country Pakistan and province as punjab then $sequenceid should be saved as APAPU0000001 (where A for Asia,PA for Pakistan and PU for and 0000001 is 7-digit sequnence identifier). And second problem is in the $sequencefile that there should be a check button to ask for user to enter the sequence manuallly or to enter a file.If press enter a file then the user is asked to put the path of the file and it should be saved in the variable sequencefile. This is the code: 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
#
# program 5-4
# Chapter 5
# Listing 4
#

use strict;
use DBI;
use Tk;

my $conn = DBI->connect
    ("DBI:mysql:pcr_experiment","root","password15")
    or die("Cannot connect: $DBI::errstr");

my ($sql, @keys, $record);

my %fields =
    ('ID'   => "ID: "   , 'first_name'     => "First Name: "   ,
     'last_name' => "Last name: " , 'initials'  => "Intials: "   ,
