Dear Monks,
I am troubled by the behavior of my code. I was hoping to show my user what the program that I transparently call is doing as it is doing it, but instead, Perl calls the program even before the textarea is drawn. I even made a separate method to see if that would make a difference, which it does not.
I would be most greatful if anyone could point me in the right direction.
Below is only the snipped where it is not acting right. 
if($answerbatch eq 'CONTINUE'){
  $progressta->place(-x=>0, -y=>0);
  cont();
}else{
   clearthird();
 }#else

sub cont{
  my $i=0;
  foreach (@arrayfilename){
  $_ .= ".log\"";
  system ("robocopy $gGui{original_source}$arraydirectory[$i]\" $gGui{
+original_dest}$_");
  $progressta->insert('end lineend', "Robocopy is now processing $_,\n
+");
  $i++;
  }#foreach
  first();
}#cont

Thanks in advance for your time
