+upplied to Show are passed to Popup, and can be used to  position the

Example: 

#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use Tk;
use Tk::DialogBox;

my $mw = MainWindow->new();
$mw->geometry("600x400+100+100");

my $dialog = $mw->DialogBox(
         -title => 'Test',
      -buttons => [qw/Yes No Cancel/], 
      );

my $lifter;

$mw->Button(-text=>'Get_dialog',
            -command => sub{
             $lifter = $mw->repeat(100,sub{ $dialog->raise });

        #my $answer = $dialog->Show;
            my $answer = $dialog->Show(-popover => $mw);

        $lifter->cancel;
        #do your $dialog return testing 

        }

  )->pack;

Note, this may not work on old versions of Tk, like Tk800 on Perl5.6, but show some code and give more details if you still have a problem.
