Hi monks, I am facing a problem with messageBox widget in Perl/Tk. I am calling messageBox for showing Error Alert, but that alert message remains as a top most window on the desktop in WINDOWS (I am running Active perl 5.8.8 on windows), inspite of pressing show desktop icon, untill Ok is pressed. I want to show that alert message only if corresponding window is active, not in all cases. I have tried attributes function with topmost=>0 option but that seems to be not working. Please help me....thanks in advance 
use strict;
use warnings;

use Tk;
use Tk::Entry;

my $mw = new MainWindow;


my $new_label = $mw -> Label(-text=>"Enter any character",
    -foreground=>"red",
    -font => "verdanafont 10 bold") 
-> pack(-side=>"top");

my $ent=$mw->Entry()->pack();
my $press = $mw -> Button(-text=>"Press Me",
    -command =>\&PressMe,
    -font => "verdanafont 10 bold")
-> pack(-side=>"left",-padx=>"5",
    -ipadx=>"5");


MainLoop;

sub PressMe
{
    
            
                my $val = $ent->get();
        if ($val =~ m/[a-zA-Z0-9]/)
        {
             my $response=$mw -> messageBox(-type=>"ok", -message=>"al
+phanumeric entered",-icon=>"info",-title=> "info!!");
#$response->attributes(-topmost=>0);
         
        }
    return;
}
