Below is code that shows the problem. It has two pull down menus.
I have tried to use an array with messages for the first.
I have given the messages in [] for the second.
I have also just just 'strict'.
In both case it fails to show the message I want to see.
I am using Perl with Windows XP Professional operating system.
Therefore any clues as to what is wrong would be excellent.
use Tk;
use Tk::Balloon;
use strict ;

my ($mw);   
my (%tooltip_mes, %tooltip_status_mes, %balloon_wg, %wg, @local_option
+s, @mes_options, @sta_options, $option_resb, $option_res);

$mw = MainWindow->new(-title => "Simple example");


$local_options[0] = 'Option 1';
$local_options[1] = 'Option 2';
$local_options[2] = 'Option 3';
$local_options[3] = 'Option 4';

$mes_options[0] = "tooltip 1\nOption A";
$mes_options[1] = "tooltip 2\nOption B";
$mes_options[2] = "tooltip 3\nOption C";
$mes_options[3] = "tooltip 4\nOption D";

$wg{APullDown_Option} = $mw->Optionmenu(
                -textvariable     => \$option_res,
                -state        => 'normal',
                 -options      => [@local_options])->pack;

$wg{BPullDown_Option} = $mw->Optionmenu(
                -textvariable     => \$option_resb,
                -state        => 'normal',
                 -options      => [@local_options])->pack;

$wg{Status_Label} = $mw->Label(-borderwidth => 2, -relief => 'groove')
  ->pack(-side => 'bottom');

$balloon_wg{pulldown} = $mw->Balloon(-statusbar => $wg{Status_Label});
$balloon_wg{pulldown}->attach($wg{APullDown_Option}, -msg => [@mes_opt
+ions]);

$balloon_wg{bpulldown} = $mw->Balloon(-statusbar => $wg{Status_Label})

$balloon_wg{bpulldown}->attach($wg{BPullDown_Option}, -state => 'ballo
