Hi Monks

I am having troubles in dynamically creating Tk entries fields tied to values from a hash and updating such entries when the hash changes. I have created a simple script to show the problem. After clicking on "Update" the hash is updated, but no changes in the Tk fields. What am I doing wrong? 

use strict;
use warnings;
use Tk;

my $mw = tkinit;
$mw -> geometry("200x200");
    
    our %MyValues=("1",  "term1",
                    "2", "term2",
                    "3",  "term3");
    
    for my $DBcolumn (1..3) {
            $mw->Entry(-textvariable => \$MyValues{$DBcolumn},-justify
+=>"left",-width => 25)->pack(-side => 'top', -anchor => 'w');
    }
    my $button1  = $mw->Button(-text => 'Update Values',  -command => 
+\&LoadNewValues)->pack();
    my $button2  = $mw->Button(-text => 'Print Out Content',  -command
+ => \&PrintOutContent)->pack();

MainLoop();

sub PrintOutContent{
    print "$MyValues{1} $MyValues{2} $MyValues{3}\n";
    
}

sub LoadNewValues{
%MyValues=();
%MyValues=("1",  "hallo",
            "2", "ok",
            "3",  "fine");
}
