Hello, all.

I have the following code: 
    use Tk::NoteBook;
    $notebook = $frmNotebook->NoteBook()->pack();
    my $billTab = $notebook->add('Bill', -label => 'Billing');
    my $shipTab = $notebook->add('Ship', -label => 'Shipping');
    my $acctTab = $notebook->add('Acct', -label => 'Accounting');
    my $notesTab = $notebook->add('Notes', -label => 'Notes');
    my $invoiceTab = $notebook->add('Invoicing', -label => 'Invoicing'
+);
#put widgets into the notebook tabs...
    &customersBillAddr_ui($billTab);
    &customersShipAddr_ui($shipTab);
    &customersAccounting_ui($acctTab);
    &customersNotes_ui($notesTab);
    &customersInvoice_ui($invoiceTab);

In each of the subroutines, widgets are created with private variables, as is normal (and good coding style, I think). The issue I have is accessing the child widgets in the Notebook pages. Here's another code snippet from customersBillAddr_ui: 
    my $mnuTerms = $root->BrowseEntry (
        -textvariable => \$cust->{'terms'},
        -state => 'readonly',
        -choices => \@items,
    );

How does one get at $mnuTerms without making it global? What am I missing?

Your servant,

Soko
