Hey all, I humbly request the help of the great Monks of Perl.

I am working on learning TK and I am stuck. I have a main window that pops a sub window with a listing of certain text files in a directory. I can create the sub window as scrolled text with no problem. I can create the buttons with the Text on each button showing the filename, but I can't get the filename to stick to the button, the filename does not carry through to the subroutine called when you click the button. Please help!!


the sub that creates the mini page
}
opendir(SPAM,$spam_dir);
my @files=readdir(SPAM);
close(SPAM);
my @deleted=grep(/^deleted/,@files);
my $new=$mw->Toplevel;
$new->title("List of Files");
foreach $open (@deleted)
   {
   $temp{$open}=$new->Button(-text=>"$open",
  -command=>sub{&view($open)},
   -fg=>'black',
   -bg=>'tan')->pack;
   }
}


sub view
{
($file)=@_;
my $new=$mw->Toplevel;
$new->title("$file Listing");
$open_curr=$new->Scrolled("Text")->pack(-side=>'bottom',
       -fill=>'both',-expand=>1);
open (FH,"$file");
my @temp=<FH>;
close(FH);
foreach $line (@temp)
     {
      $open_curr->insert("end",$line);
    }
}
