It's my understanding that the selection methods of Tk::Listbox modify the selection, and not return it. The curselection() method is not available by default in a Tk::BrowseEntry widget. Is there any way I can override the widget bindings so that the get method is defaulted to the Tk::Entry widget rather than the Tk::Listbox widget?

Any help is appreciated,

<edit>Well, I changed the BrowseEntry.pm to delegate to the entry widget rather than the scrolled listbox. However I would like to find a way to do it without trifling with the default bindings directly, (i.e. a code override rather than hard override)</edit>
