Hi all, i'm a newbie in perl and tk module. I was able to create a little menu wit the option get_open file so to visualize a little windows with all the file in my PC. Then i select the file i like to visualize and is opened. The problem is that i don't understand how to print on a windows the text of the opened file. The code is: 
$file->command ( -label => 'Open', 
                 -accelerator => 'Ctrl-o', 
                 -underline => 0, 
                 -command => \&open_file); $mw->bind('<Control-o>', [\
+&open_file]); 

#SUPPORTED FILES TO OPEN 

my $types_OPEN = [ ['text files', '.txt'], 
                 ['All Files', '*'],]; 

sub open_file { my $open = $mw->getOpenFile(-filetypes => $types_OPEN,
+ -defaultextension => '.txt'); 

print qq{You chose to open "$open"\n} 
if $open; my $open = $mw; }

I would like to print the content of the txt file opened in a window of the program. Could anybody help me ? Thank you
