Thank you for the quick reply but I also have one more question about this, i'm trying to create a spinner that will allow the user to chose a time (00:00 - 23:59) but I can't seem to figure out how I can associate the 2.

also I tried this code:

use Tk;
use Tk::SpinBox;

my $mw = MainWindow->new;
$mw->title("Spinner");
$mw->MainWindow->Frame(-relief=>'groove');
$mw->minsize(600,300);

my $spin = $mw -> SpinBox()-> pack ( -anchor => 'nw');

MainLoop;

[download]
but it says:
Assuming 'require Tk::SpinBox;' at a.pl line 9
Failed to AUTOLOAD 'Tk::Widget::SpinBox' at a.pl line 9

and i've gone to my perl and perl lib folder and done:
ppm install Tk::SpinBox

any suggestions? :S

PS: I tried to make my message neater this time, I hope it's up to standards :)
