Hi, I'm trying to make the user select the directory he wants to save files in using the chooseDirectory method. The problem I have is that I want the user to choose the directory once and it should be set for the next time he opens the program again. I can't seem to set the user's input as default for the program. Here is my code: 

#!/usr/bin/perl
use Tk;
use Tk::JPEG;
use Tk::Dialog;


my $mw = MainWindow->new;

my $c = $mw->Canvas(
                 -tile => $tile,
                 qw/-width 1500 -height 750/);
$c->pack(-side => 'left');


$path = $c->Label(-text => "Default Path For Saving Input Files",
          -font => 'Garamond 10 bold') ->place(-relx => 0.23, -rely =>
+ 0.4);
$path_text = $c->Entry(-textvariable => \$def_path,
          -width => 50)->place(-relx => 0.4, -rely => 0.4);
$path_button = $c->Button(-text => "Browse",
           -font => 'Garamond 8 bold',
           -width => 5,
           -command => \&browse)->place(-relx => 0.65, -rely => 0.4);


MainLoop;

sub browse {
     $def_path = $path_button->chooseDirectory(-title => 'Select direc
+tory',
                                               -initialdir => '.',
                                               -mustexist => 1);
}
