Folks,

I am creating a small lite weight gui to enter data into a text file. This is more of a learning experience then anything. I currently have Perl/tk books on route; however, I am using the Tkx library in Activestate. I have found a number Tk examples to clear the content of a textbox; however, I really cannot find what I am looking for for Tkx - to be honest not sure what I need to look for.

I need some help with my clear sub

#!/usr/bin/perl
use Tkx;

Tkx::wm_title(".", "CSV Book Entry");
Tkx::ttk__frame(".c",  -padding => "3 3 12 12");
Tkx::grid( ".c", -column => 0, -row => 0, -sticky => "nwes");
Tkx::grid_columnconfigure( ".", 0, -weight => 1); 
Tkx::grid_rowconfigure(".", 0, -weight => 1);

#Tkx::ttk__entry(".c.feet", -width => 7, -textvariable => \$feet);
#Tkx::grid(".c.feet", -column => 2, -row => 1, -sticky => "we");
#Tkx::ttk__label(".c.meters", -textvariable => \$meters);
#Tkx::grid(".c.meters", -column => 2, -row => 2, -sticky => "we");
#Tkx::ttk__button(".c.calc", -text => "Calculate", -command => sub {ca
+lculate();});
#Tkx::grid(".c.calc", -column => 3, -row => 3, -sticky => "w");

Tkx::ttk__entry(".c.txtbox_file_name", -width => 25, -textvariable => 
+\$txtbox_file_name);
Tkx::grid(".c.txtbox_file_name", -column => 2, -row => 1, -sticky => "
+e");
Tkx::ttk__entry(".c.txtbox_title", -width => 25, -textvariable => \$tx
+tbox_title);
Tkx::grid(".c.txtbox_title", -column => 2, -row => 2, -sticky => "e");

Tkx::ttk__entry(".c.txtbox_author", -width => 25, -textvariable => \$t
+xtbox_author);
Tkx::grid(".c.txtbox_author", -column => 2, -row => 3, -sticky => "e")
+;

Tkx::ttk__entry(".c.txtbox_series", -width => 25, -textvariable => \$t
+xtbox_series);
Tkx::grid(".c.txtbox_series", -column => 2, -row => 4, -sticky => "e")
+;

Tkx::ttk__entry(".c.txtbox_isbn", -width => 25, -textvariable => \$txt
+box_isbn);
Tkx::grid(".c.txtbox_isbn", -column => 2, -row => 5, -sticky => "e");


Tkx::ttk__button(".c.enter", -text => "Enter", -command => sub {enter(
+);});
Tkx::grid(".c.enter", -column => 1, -row => 6, -sticky => "w");

Tkx::ttk__button(".c.clear", -text => "Clear", -command => sub {clear(
+);});
Tkx::grid(".c.clear", -column => 2, -row => 6, -sticky => "we");

Tkx::grid( Tkx::ttk__label(".c.flbl", -text => "FILENAME:"), -column =
+> 1, -row => 1, -sticky => "w");
Tkx::grid( Tkx::ttk__label(".c.islbl", -text => "TITLE:"), -column => 
+1, -row => 2, -sticky => "W");
Tkx::grid( Tkx::ttk__label(".c.mlbl", -text => "AUTHOR:"), -column => 
+1, -row => 3, -sticky => "w");
Tkx::grid( Tkx::ttk__label(".c.slbl", -text  => "SERIES:"), -column =>
+ 1, -row => 4, -sticky => "W");
Tkx::grid( Tkx::ttk__label(".c.isbnlbl", -text => "ISBN:"), -column =>
+ 1, -row => 5, -sticky => "W");

sub enter {
  $filename = 'bookdb.txt';
  open($WRITEFILE, '>>', $filename) or die;
  #Maybe add values into array???
  #@data = qw($txtbox_file_name $txtbox_title $txtbox_author $txtbox_s
+eries $txtbox_isbn);
  $data = "$txtbox_file_name,$txtbox_title,$txtbox_author,$txtbox_seri
+es,$txtbox_isbn\n";
  print $WRITEFILE "$data";
  close $WRITEFILE;
}

# sub clear {
  # delete our $txtbox_file_name;
# }


Tkx::MainLoop();
