I was wondering how to get a file menu working, ive got the basics but cant get the new, open, save and save as working :(. Any ideas? Cheers

i need new to clear a text area, open to create a window which will allow me to open files on my computer that are pl files, and the save to save the text in my textarea on my pc. I dont know how to use gui libraries-sorry 

my $mw12= $mw->configure(-menu=> my $menubar = $mw->Menu);
my $file = $menubar->cascade(-label =>'~File');
my $help = $menubar->cascade(-label =>'~Help');
my $new = $file ->command(-label=>'New', -underline=>0);
my $open = $file ->command(-label=>'Open', -underline=>0);
my $save = $file ->command(-label=>'Save', -underline=>0);
my $saveas = $file ->command(-label=>'Save As..', -<br>underline=>1);
my $exit = $file ->command(-label=>'Exit', -underline=>0, -command =>\
+&exit);
