Thank you Aristotle, this is exactly the kind of feedback I was looking for.

Your idea for handling the buttons in the activity_configure sub is excellent - very clear and concise. Though I would probably have used a hash instead of @button, and used each instead of splice.

Regarding OO, this has prompted me to review and assess the plethora of Class::* modules on CPAN. Having activity as a class will present a neater way of dealing with the callbacks, as methods, but it still looks that "Next" will be difficult to implement. Can I get the toplevel widget to return me the next frame I wonder?

Regarding the .ini save, I prefer my original, as the heredoc stands out and makes it obvious what is happening. Admittedly, I could refactor the time calculation into a sub - which may become a method in my new class.
