Dear Monks,

I have the following script generating a simple GUI. It uses tk:table to show the content of a list (array). What I am not able to do is to select/get the word in colum 2 by selecting the word and pressing the Return button. I'd also like to do the same by double clicking the word.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w


use strict;
use Tk;
use tk::table;

my $mw = MainWindow->new();
$mw->configure(-title => 'EnterMode - Version 4.0.1');
$mw->resizable( 0, 0 );

create_table_terms();
MainLoop();
my $nge;

sub create_table_terms
{
my @terms = ("Quarter","Dime","Nickel");

    my $ngrams=@terms;

    my $ngramstable = $mw->Table(
                    -columns => 2,
                    -rows => $ngrams,
                    -scrollbars => 'e',
                    -relief => 'raised',
                    );
        $ngramstable->pack();            

    
    my $cont=0;
    
  foreach  my $ngram (@terms){
    
    my $exportngram;
    my $cbd= $ngramstable->Checkbutton(
                       -variable=>\$exportngram,
                       -indicatoron=>'1',
                       -state=>'normal',
                       -width => 1,
                       -anchor=>'nw',
                       -background => 'white',
                       -relief => 'groove', -padx=>5);

    $nge = $ngramstable->Entry( -textvariable=>\$ngram,
                       -width => 23,
                       -background => 'white',
                       -relief => 'groove'
                       );
  $nge -> bind("<Return>", [ \&start_search_from_extracted_terms, "ent
+ry", "Return" ] );
    
    $ngramstable->put( $cont, 0, $cbd);
    $ngramstable->put( $cont, 1, $nge);
    ++$cont;
    }
}

sub start_search_from_extracted_terms
{
my $word=$nge -> get();
print "$word";
}

Any idea would be appreciated.
