Fellow monks,

I have a TK program and need to share my MainWindow across packages. Please enlighten me on how I can do this.

# my main program 

use strict;
use warnings;
use Tk; 

our $MW = MainWindow->new(%{$BPP::BPPDEFAULTS::MYDEFAULTS{MAINWINDOW}}
+); 
$MW->geometry('800x700+0+0');
...

Now I have another file that I want to be able to use $MW in to be the parent of my dialog box. 

use Tk::Dialogbox;

package BPP::ABOUT;


sub AboutBPP
{
    my $about_dialog = $MW->DialogBox(
                -title=>'About BPP',
                -background=>'#ffffcc',
                -buttons=>["Ok"],);

    my $pic = $about_dialog->Photo(-file=>'money.gif');

    $about_dialog->add('Label',  -image=>$pic,-background=>'#ffffcc' )
+->grid(-row=>0, -column=>0,-sticky=>'w');

    $about_dialog->Show;

}#end AboutBPP
