Hi, interesting question. What I did was run the following code, for the first 5 seconds with no menu, then a menu for the second 5 seconds. Then compare the output. It seems that when the menu is visible, Dumper has an Entry for '_XEvent_' , which contains some binary and font information.

I'm not sure what is the best way to detect what '_XEVENT_' is. If you figure it out, please post the code. 

#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use Tk;
use Data::Dumper;


my $mw = MainWindow->new();
my $Text = $mw->Text()->pack;
my $TextMenu = $Text->menu();
my $timer = $mw->repeat(5000,\&Loop);
MainLoop;

sub Loop {

#print Dumper[(\$TextMenu)],"\n\n"; 
#print join ' ',keys %$TextMenu,"\n"; 
#print $TextMenu{'_XEvent_'},"\n"; 

my %hash = %$TextMenu;
print join ' ',keys %hash,"\n";
print $hash{'_XEvent_'},"\n";

}
