Hi, My question is on Perl-Tk (Perl v5.10.0, perl-tk 1:804.028). I'm trying to write a context-menu, being called by a right-click and containing commands 'Copy' and 'Paste'. This context-menu must work with all 'entry' widgets of the main window. There are multiple 'entry' widgets in the main window, and their number can vary, because they are generated by a subroutine. 
use Tk ':variables';
...

# It handles right-clicks on all entries of the main window
$mwindow->bind("Tk::Entry", "<Button-3>", sub {$popup->Popup(
    -popover     => "cursor",
    -popanchor     => 'nw'
    )}
);

# It makes the menu row 'Copy' and calls the sub callback
my $popup = $mwindow->Menu(
    -tearoff           => 0,
    -menuitems         => [
        ['command' => "~Copy", -command => \&callback]
    ]
);

# It must copy the content of the event's entry to the clipboard, but.
+..
sub callback {
    my $f = $Tk::event->ENTRY; # what instead of ENTRY? which method? 
+(A, B...)
    my $g = $f->get();
    $mw->clipboardAppend($g);
}
