It is true that I don't have MainLoop, but I don't believe that was the issue. I observed more carefully, the DialogBox actually poped up, but it is not the top window, thus it is covered by the broswer window (as you said this is a filter ;-). If I minimize the broswer, then the DialogBox shows up (or click its icon to activate it, it also shows up).

This code works, the box pops up three times:

use Tk;

my $mw = MainWindow->new();
for (1..3) { 
    $mw->DialogBox(-title => "?", -buttons => ["Yes", "No"])->Show();
}

Which makes sense, as the "command prompt" window, from where I run my script, itself is the top window.

The question is how to bring the DialogBox to top front automatically.

CGI is an interesting answer. I like it. It requires more coding, but I am willing to go that way, if there is no way to bring the DialogBox to front.

Sort of don't like the idea of Win32 GUI. Would rather reduce platform dependency.
