Hey, thanks thundergnat. I didn't know about the Subwidget function of the tk::browseentry. It wasn't obvious to me from the documentation. I must have skimmed over a critical part and missed it. That lets me use the browse2cmd option and get the curselection() with the regular listbox function.
I'm not a newbie anymore, but I've still got a lot to learn about the perl infernals.
