Note: This has been solved, answers at end.

Hello monks, I have been working on a flat text database system in Perl (first year student project). 
use strict;
use Tk;

my $mw = MainWindow->new;
our $viewbox = $mw->Listbox(-height=>'30',-width=>'70')->pack(-expand=
+>'1',-fill=>'both');

load($viewbox);
MainLoop;

sub load 
    {
    my $idnum;
    my $tags;
    ($idnum,$tags) = (123,'tag1 tag2');
    $viewbox->insert('end', "$idnum\t$tags");
    }

I need some information about interfacing with Listboxes in Tk.

UPDATE: found I can get single line information using 
my $entry = $viewbox->curselection;
print $viewbox->get($entry)."\n";

[download]
SECOND UPDATE: $viewbox->delete('active') Deletes the currently selected entry. How I missed this, I have no idea..

THIRD UPDATE: 
my @contents = $viewbox->get('0','end');
foreach (@contents) {print "$_\n";}

This enables you to read the entire listbox and print it out line by line.

I will leave all of this as a reference for SuperSearch, as it was not available for me to find earlier.

Thanks!
