Well, the problem isnt that its not working. Its the gfx that aint updating _while_ working! Code is something like this: :)

        $mw->Label(-text => "Path:")->
                                          grid(
                                              -row => 0,
                                              -column => 0,
                                              -sticky => 'w');
        my $pathEntry = $mw->Entry(-width => 50, -textvariable => \$fu
+ll_path)->
                                          grid(
                                              -row => 0,
                                              -column => 1,
                                              -sticky => 'w');

        $mw->Button(-text => "Browse...", -command => sub {print $full
+_path})->
                                          grid(
                                              -row => 0,
                                              -column => 2,
