I want to get the value entered by the user in the "Entry" fiels desinged using Tk module, and pass as param to another script file.

As a first step I tried to get the value and print the value. It is not functioning properly.

Please find the code :
my $input='Enter the site address..';
my $mw = new MainWindow;
my $frm_name= $mw ->Frame()->pack();
my $label =$frm_name -> Label(-text=>"Site Address") -> pack();
my $txt =$frm_name ->Entry()->pack();
my $button = $frm_name -> Button(-text => "Quit", -command => sub{ $inp=$txt->get();
print $inp; })->pack();
my $txt_area= $mw ->Text(-width=>10,-height=>5)->pack();
MainLoop;
