Hi everyone How are things?

I need some help, I am sure it is simple but I can't seem to get er done.

I am trying to open a dialog select a file (works) and place/display it in the entry textbox for processing (doesn't work)

Any help would e greatly appreciated 

#!/usr/bin/perl -w 
use strict; 

use Tk; 

my $ImageFilePath; 

my $mw = MainWindow -> new; 
$mw -> title("IMU Data Processing"); 

# sizes window 
$mw -> geometry('400x200'); 

#my $frm = $mw -> Frame(); 

# label for Image times file 
my $lblImageFile = $mw->Label(-text => "Image File:", -padx=>5, -pady=
+>5); 

# entry textbox for Image times dialog 
my $entImageFile = $mw->Entry(-width=>30, -textvariable=>\$ImageFilePa
+th); 

# button to browse for file 
my $butImageFile = $mw->Button(-text=>'Browse', -command=> sub { openI
+mageFileDialog($entImageFile)}); 

MainLoop; 

sub openImageFileDialog { 
my $imageFilePathOpen = $mw->getOpenFile(-title => 'Open Image File:')
+; 
}
