I'm using a simple tie (below) to have output of commands I run go to a text widget, which is one of the panes in my window.

I'm revisiting this program, and I wonder if now there is something in Perl Tk that does this already, or a more comprehensive module that implements this?

# Tie a file handle to a text widget

package OutHandle;
use Tie::Handle;
use vars qw (@ISA);
@ISA= ('Tie::Handle');

sub TIEHANDLE
 {
 my ($class, $widget)= @_;
 my $object= \$widget;
 return bless \$object, $class;  #ref to scalar pointing to widget
 }
 
sub WRITE
 {
 my ($this, $s, $len, $offset)= @_;
 $s= substr ($s, $offset, $len);
 if ($s eq "\x19") {
    #End Of Medium control code used to clear screen
    $$$this->delete ("1.0", 'end');
    }
 else {
    $$$this->insert ('end', $s);
    }
 $$$this -> update;             
 }
