You might get some clues if you add "use warnings;" to your script.

To be honest, I can't figure out what you are trying to do? :-) I've never seen code like this: 

if(! Exists($obj->{mw})) 
    {    
        $obj = bless {mw => $wind->Toplevel()};
        $obj->{mw}->title("Child Window");

So I'm wondering what you are trying to do?

Anyways, to get the reference to a Toplevel, just save it somewhere. 

my %toplevels;
$toplevel{$count}{'toplevel'} = $wind->Toplevel();

You seem to be trying to track windows, by setting their Titles, but I may not understand your code. You should save them in hashes or arrays.

Anyways, add warnings to your script, fix the warnings problem, and straighten out your hashes. Sorry, this code is too convoluted for me to understand.
