Can I drag and drop a file *from* perl Tk into another windows app?

I haven't found *any* reference to this aspect of DND. I've spent 20+ hours on the web, Perl Monks, Safari, and in the few docs I found. I've read the ubiquitous stuff:

  1. http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2001/12/11/perltk.html
  2. http://www.perltk.org/articles/dnd/dnd.html
  3. http://www.perltk.org/articles/dnd/hlistdnd.pl

I changed 'Win32' to 'Local' in #3 above. While I can drag in and drag locally I can't drag out (not even to another instance of the same app). The OS and other apps don't respond in any way, and the token doesn't change to indicate a drop site.

Is this possible? Is there documentation? Thanks.

Resolution: This question has been answered: Yes, but only through the Tcl/Tk module (not Perl/Tk). Full details are available in this thread.

My Application: Search and aggregate data from multiple databases. I want to select and drag results into other apps (like Sound Forge or Pro Tools).
