Hi fellow Monks,

I wonder if I am doing somthing wrong or is this just
the way tag's in Tk::Text work.
The documentation defines tagBind like so ...

$text->tagBind(tagName, ?sequence?, ?script?)


Please take a look at these code snippets and let me know
if am doing something that is causing my problem

The problem I am dealing with is that when I specify a ?script? like so ... 
sub myTagCallback {
    my $theTextWidget = shift; # I don't know why this shows up!
    my $str           = shift;
    my $arrRef        = shift;
    my $tableWidget   = shift;
    .
    .
    .
}

.
.
.

       $myTextWidget->tagBind ( 
                $myTagName, 
                "<ButtonRelease-1>", 
                [\&myTagCallback, 
                  $myString, 
                 \@myArrayOArrays, 
                  $myTableWidget]
        );  
.
.
.

What I don't understand is how/why I have to do the ... 
    my $theTextWidget = shift; # I don't know why this shows up!

[download]
... I didn't specify it as an argument in the tagBind call !?!?!?!

Please enlighten me. Thanks!
