I used the sub program way because I have the sub window do some functions before closing so I cannot call close right in the declerative region for the button. However I have a problem getting the window to close multiple times. It works fine the first time but when I call the window again it opens and then when I execute the function it errors while trying to close the second time. 
sub go_to {
   my $sw = $mw->Toplevel(-title=>"Go To Line");
   my $frame = $sw->Frame->pack(-side => 'top', -fill => 'x');
   $frame->Label(-text => "Enter Line Number:")->pack(-side => 'left',
+ -anchor => 'w');
   $frame->Entry(-textvariable => \$line_number)->
      pack(-side => 'left', -anchor => 'w', -fill => 'x', -expand => 1
+);
   $frame->Button(-text => "GO", -background => 'navy blue', -foregrou
+nd => 'white', -command =>\&scroll_line)->
      pack(-side => 'right');

   sub scroll_line {
      $line_number = $line_number - 1;
      my $calc = $line_number/$line_count;
      $t->yviewMoveto($calc);
      $line_number = $line_number + 1;
      $sw->destroy();
   }
}

As you might be able to tell the sub window is a "go to" line function in a text editor script I am writing and needs to be opened and closed multiple time during one session. How can I change it to do this more than once successfully. The error is:
