This works on linux
# ----------- sub options { # ----------- $gBuild = "TBD"; ### ? ### print "options; build is $gBuild\n"; # code added by me ###################### use Tk::DialogBox; my $dialog = $mw->DialogBox( -buttons => [qw/Ok Cancel/], -title => "Enter New Value" ); my $dialogE = $dialog->add("Entry"); $dialogE->pack(qw/-padx 10 -pady 10/); ## Clear the Entry before showing the dialog $dialogE->delete( 0, 'end' ); ## Determine whether or not the user hit "Ok" my $button = $dialog->Show(); if ( $button eq "Ok" ) { my $letters = $dialogE->get(); print "$letters was submitted\n"; } ######################################## } # end of options()
