You can create additional windows. 
my $mw = MainWindow->new; 
my $newWindow = $mw->TopLevel();

Use NewWindow just like the mainwindow.

Creating these windows and getting them packed, etc takes a bit of time. So when I have a window like that, I just hide it when I'm done instead of "destroy". That way I can bring it back up on the screen very fast and it stays in the same place that the user had it. There are a number of methods to look at. to take off screen: withdraw() or perhaps iconify(), to get back: deiconify(), raise().

Update: Good luck and re: CB look at CB clients. The java client runs in your browser and is easy to use although doesn't have all of the features of some of the others.
