Dear All,
It is a memory game, I have almost completed my script. However I cannot understand, How to make Tk sleep (Please check '############# This DOES NOT WORK AS EXPECTED ' in my code)?? Here when I click on 2nd button, I want image to appear atleast for 2 secs and then disappear. However the image is disappearing when you click 2nd button. Forgive me if my explaination is Not proper.

use strict;
use Tk;
use Tk::Button;
use Tk::Canvas;
use Tk::Photo;
use Tk::Splashscreen;
require Tk::Splash;
