G'day PerlCowboy,

Welcome to the Monastery.

I've assumed you wrote "Reaped: Executing code after MainLoop; using Tk" before logging in. It's virtually identical to this post: both have the same problem and the same solution (already supplied by AnonymousMonk in "Re: Code after MainLoop; Tk"). I've requested that it be removed (which, on previewing, I see it has): you don't have to do anything else about this.

To expand upon AnonymousMonk's reply, you can find documentation

• for exit in Tk::exit
• for destroy in Tk::Widget

Here's your problem and solution in a nutshell:

#!/usr/bin/env perl

use strict;
use warnings;

use Tk;

my $mw = MainWindow->new;

$mw->Button(-text    => 'Problem: exit',
            -command => sub { exit }
     )->pack;
$mw->Button(-text    => 'Solution: destroy',
            -command => sub { $mw->destroy }
     )->pack;

MainLoop;

print "After MainLoop\n";

Test runs:

$ pm_1165366_tk_post_loop.pl # Test Problem
$ pm_1165366_tk_post_loop.pl # Test Solution
After MainLoop
