okay, here's a script illustrating the problem:
use Tk;

use strict;
use warnings;

my $win = MainWindow->new();

$win->Button(-text => 'Other Window', -command => \&otherwindow)->pack
+;

sub otherwindow
{
    my $otherwin = $win->Toplevel;
    my $foo = $otherwin->Entry->pack;
    my $bar = $otherwin->Entry->pack;
    my $baz = $otherwin->Entry->pack;

    &defineOrder(\$foo, \$bar, \$baz);
}    


sub defineOrder
{
    for (my $i = 0; defined($_[$i+1]); $i++)
    {
        ${$_[$i]}->bind('<Return>' , \${$_[$i+1]}->focus );
        print ${$_[$i]}, "\n";
    }

    ${$_[0]}->focus;

    # BTW: $foo->focus() wont work here....

}

MainLoop();

i'm starting to think this is a scoping problem - but then aain, this script doesn't throw ANY warnings.
