Hi Monks, I want to copy all the contents of one column of the table and paste it to the other column of the table, created in Perl/Tk. I also want to copy the contents of one column by dragging the mouse only. Code Snippet is as follows: 
#!/usr/local/bin/perl    
use Tk;
use Tk::Table;
use Tk::Entry;
 $mw = new MainWindow;
 $title = $mw -> title("kapsule");

 $show_table_frame = $mw->Frame()->pack(-side => "top",-fill => "both"
+,-anchor => "nw",-padx=>"10");
 $button = $mw-> Button(-text=>"show",-font => "verdanafont 10 bold",-
+command=>sub {
if ($show_table_frame ->ismapped)
 {
    $show_table_frame ->packForget();
 }
else
 {
    $show_table_frame ->pack();
 }    
}
)->pack();

    
         $show_table = $show_table_frame->Table(-columns => 3,-rows =>
+ 5,-scrollbars => "o",-fixedrows => 1,-fixedcolumns => 

0,-relief => 'raised',-takefocus=>"0",-pady=>"5");

         $tmp_label = $show_table->Label(-text => "Col. 1 ", -width =>
+ 15, -relief =>'ridge');
        $show_table->put(0, 1, $tmp_label);

         $tmp_label = $show_table->Label(-text => "Col. 2", -width => 
+15, -relief =>'ridge');
        $show_table->put(0, 2, $tmp_label); 

         $tmp_label = $show_table->Label(-text => "col. 3", -width => 
+15, -relief =>'ridge');
        $show_table->put(0, 3, $tmp_label); 

     for($col=1;$col<4;$col++)
        {
        for ($row=1;$row<5;$row++)
        {
                   $ent = $show_table -> Entry(-font=>"verdana 10") ->
+ pack(-ipady=>"15");
                   $show_table->put($row,$col,$ent);
        }
        }
    $show_table->pack();
