Instead of using alarm, you should use Tk's method of creating timers. ( P.S. I also changed your destroy syntax to be more understandable)
#!/usr/bin/perl use warnings; use strict; use Tk; compok(); sub compok{ my $Cok = MainWindow->new(title=>"Copy succeeded"); my $Cok1 = $Cok->Frame; $Cok1->Label(-text=>"\n\nWONDERFULL\n\n") ->pack(-side=>"top",-fill=>"both", -anchor=>"w", qw/-ipadx 70 -ipady 120/); $Cok1->Button( -text => 'OK', -background => 'lightgreen', -command => sub{ $Cok->destroy } ) ->pack(qw/-ipadx 4 -pady 2/); $Cok1->pack; #5000 millisec -- 5 seconds my $timer = $Cok->after(5000, sub{ $Cok->destroy }); MainLoop; }
