edit: I found the problem with this. It seems that by default tk passes a ref to the object you bound to. Once I realized that that ref was also in @_ I was able to use that and trim my parameter list by one..also making it in the correct order.This works now. Thanks to all those who may have given it some thought.

I have two tk listbox's with a method bound to one of them like so. 
    #Make the file listbox and scrollbar
    my $ftp_fileList = $ftp_dialog->add("Listbox")->pack(-side=>'left'
+,-fill=>'both');
    my $ftp_fileScrollBar = $ftp_dialog->Scrollbar(-command=>['yview',
+$ftp_fileList])->pack(-side=>'left',-fill=>'y');
    
    #Bind the scrollcommand to the bar
    $ftp_fileList->configure(-yscrollcommand=>['set',$ftp_fileScrollBa
+r]);

    #Make the dir listbox and scrollbar
    my $ftp_dirList = $ftp_dialog->add("Listbox")->pack(-side=>'right'
+,fill=>'both');                                     
    my $ftp_dirScrollBar = $ftp_dialog->Scrollbar(-command=>['yview',$
+ftp_dirList])->pack(-side=>'right',-fill=>'y');
        
    #Bind the scrollcommand to the bar
    $ftp_dirList->configure(-yscrollcommand=>['set',$ftp_dirScrollBar]
+);    
    
    #Bind the double click method to change directory
    $ftp_dirList->bind('<Double-1>',[\&cd_List, \$ftp, $ftp_dirList,$f
+tp_fileList]);

When I receive the parameters to cd_List in the function they are not passed in the order listed... does anyone have any idea how to control their order .. or tell me a secret that I'm missing on what order they go in.. I have simply two parameters previously.. and they were passed in backwards... when I switched to three and implremented the backward parameter list.. it was found to be not the case... any ideas?
