Hi Monks I am trying to run this code below The issue is the FileSelect sub at the bottom. When trying to click on a .nzb file dialog box is not updated. Clicking Open does nothing. Only if I manually type something in the dialog box does it return the file name. 
#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use Tk;
use Tk::FileSelect;

my $file_open_dir = "/home/calipso/Desktop";
my $open_file_types = [ ['NZB Files', '.nzb'] ],
     

my $canvas_width  = 1000;
my $canvas_height = 1000;

my $mw = MainWindow->new;
$mw->geometry('800x600');
$mw->title("**************");

$mw->configure( -menu => my $menubar = $mw->Menu );
my $file = $menubar->cascade( -label => '~File' );
my $tools = $menubar->cascade( -label => '~Tools' );
my $help = $menubar->cascade( -label => '~Help' );

$file->command(
    -label       => "Import",
    -accelerator => 'Ctrl-i',
    -underline   => 0,
    -command     => sub { File_Import() },
);

$file->command(
    -label       => "Quit",
    -accelerator => 'Ctrl-Q',
    -underline   => 0,
    -command     => sub { Exit() },
);

$tools->command(
    -label       => "Options",
    -underline   => 0,
    -command     => sub { Tools_Options() },
);

$help->command(
    -label       => "About",
    -underline   => 0,
    -command     => sub { About() },
);

my $nzb_list_canvas = $mw->Canvas(
    -width      => 200,
    -height     => $canvas_height,
    -background => 'black',
)->pack( -side => 'left', -expand => 1, -padx => 10, -pady => 10 );

my $nzb_segment_canvas = $mw->Canvas(
    -width      => 600,
    -height     => $canvas_height,
    -background => 'black',
)->pack( -side => 'left', -expand => 1, -padx => 10, -pady => 10 );



sub File_Import
{
     my $mw = MainWindow->new;
     my $nzb_file = $mw->getOpenFile(
     -title =>"Select NZB File", 
     -initialdir => $file_open_dir,
     -filetypes => $open_file_types,
     -defaultextension => '.nzb'
     ); 
     
    print qq{You chose to open "$nzb_file"\n} if $nzb_file;

}

sub Exit
{
exit(0);
}
MainLoop;
