Esteemed monks,

I seem to be having more trouble with Perl/Tk than a monkey with a whole case of bananas!

In this code I have a Toplevel with two BrowseEntry's on it. One is populated from a globally declared array, the other from a database search.

But when I select a value in the upper box, it appears in the lower one as well, likewise, If I select a value in the lower box it appers in the upper one.

Where on earth am I going wrong? 

sub doListPull {
    my %ds;
    my $rec;
    my ($id, $datasource, $ds_desc);

    debug("+doListPullDialog");
    if ( ! Exists($tlp)) {
        $tlp = $mainwindow->Toplevel();
        $tlp->title("List Pulling Configuration");
        my $tlp_pt = $tlp->BrowseEntry(-label => 'Pull list type',
                -variable => $state->{pullType})->grid(-padx => 5, -pa
+dy => 5);
        $tlp_pt->focus;
        $tlp_pt->insert('end', @pullTypes);

        my $tlp_ds = $tlp->BrowseEntry(-label => "DataSource",
                -variable => $state->{pullDs})->grid(-padx => 5, -pady
+ => 5);
        my $SQL = "SELECT id, sourcename, sourcedesc from datasource;"
+;
        my $sth = $dbh->prepare( $SQL );
        $sth->execute;
        while (($id, $datasource, $ds_desc) = $sth->fetchrow_array) {
            $tlp_ds->insert('end', ($datasource." ".$ds_desc));
            $rec->{$datasource} = ${ds_desc};
            $dsources[$id] = $rec;
        }
    }
    debug("-doListPullDialog");
}

$state is a globally declared hash to store the current values of the various parts of the script.

Frustrated monk!
