I have some code that uses Tk. It launches a word document then closes it. Problem is when it closes the word document the tk window falls back to where other apps are on top of it. I need the tk window to be the top most window after the word document closes. I tried focus, grab, etc... and I haven't found any way in windows to bring the tk window in front of all other windows so its in the users face. Thanks! Any advice or simple code I can add to do this? 
use Tk;
$mw = MainWindow->new();
$mw->geometry("400x170");
MainLoop;

#Open document....
#Does some stuff....
#Close Document....
#Now I want the $mw to jump out in front of the users face on top of a
+ll other windows whether they are tK perl related or lets say firefox
+, internet explorer, excel, etc....
