If I want to dynamically assign the value of -balloonmsg, for example the content of the tagged text? In the following I have 2 words tagged, the balloon should diasplay as message the respectiv text which is tagged. I simulate this reading the content with "get", but I use fix indexes and of course it is not okay. Any idea how to get those indexes dynamically?

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Tk;
use Tk::Text;
use Tk::Balloon;

my $mw = tkinit();
my $text = $mw->Text->pack;
$text->insert('end', "This is a red text\n");
$text->tagAdd('red_text', '1.10', '1.13');
$text->insert('end', "This is another xxx text\n");
$text->tagAdd('red_text', '2.16', '2.19');
$text->tagConfigure('red_text', -foreground => 'red');

my %messages = (1=>"hello", 2=>"good");

my $balloon  = $text->Balloon();
$text->tagBind('red_text', '<Enter>', sub {
    my $message= $text->get('1.10', '1.13');# this should become dynam
+ic
        $balloon->attach($text , -balloonmsg      => $message,
                   -initwait        => 10,
                   -balloonposition => 'mouse');
        });
$text->tagBind('red_text', '<Leave>', sub { $balloon->detach($text) })
+;

$mw->MainLoop();
