for the virtual event, only $w->eventGenerate('<<Paste>>') will work. trying to generate the virtual event off of the MainWindow ($mw->eventGenerate('<<Paste>>')doesn't do anything.

Read "perldoc Tk::bind". I'm guessing that since Paste is not an event type for a top level window( where is the Paste supposed to go? ), trying to generate a paste from a $mw is not going to do anything. I'm not sure which syntax is needed to add Paste to the $mw bindings, probably something like 

# untested guess
 $mw->eventGenerate('Tk::Text','<<Paste>>');

Maybe someone else knows the trick.
