First, I'd like to thank you for this info! I've been using Perl for quite a while, but being self-taught means that sometimes I have to use "cookbook" code that I don't completely understand. On to my comment/question ...

I tried using the "add_edit_popup" sub in my Tk app. It works great for Tk widgets that are in global scope. I pass into "add_edit_popup" my globally scoped MainWindow along with whatever globally scoped widgets, and it works like a charm!

The problem is when I try to do the same with locally scoped Tk widgets that are in a sub. For example, I have a sub that withdraws the root MainWindow and creates a new MainWindow populated with widgets. When I make a call to "add_edit_popup" from within this sub (passing in the local MainWindow and Entry widgets), I get an error saying something along the lines of "can't call 'menu' without package or object reference".

Is this something anyone can answer from what I've described? If not, I'm happy to cook up some sample code to reproduce this problem.

First time poster but long time researcher here. Thanks so much for any help!
