in reply to How to implement a cascading Menu

I am trying to create a cascading menu using Perl TK. The problem I am having is that all my cascaded menues are popping up.
You only have one cascade menu, and (update:for some reason I don't consider $file/$edit cascade, whoops) it only pops up (reveals the cascade menu) when you mouse over (hilight) the New item in the File menu.
update: to clarify, when running your program, none of the menus show until I click something, that is, works as expected.
What I would like is to have the submenu's popup only when I click on the menu item.
You might be able to do it on unix, see "Cascade Entries" in the Tk::Menu documentation.
update: To clarify, the $file/$edit menus wait for a mouse click, while $new will show when it's hilighted.

    Thank you for the reply. We are running the Perl Menu program on a Solaris 9 platform using Perl version 5.8.. Secondly, our menu structure goes to 3 or 4 levels and I do not know how to have it cascade to the next level using a mouse click. It seems to cascade automatically. I am sure this is something simple like adding some option to one of the fields. Any suggestions? I am stuck. thank you very much w3ntp
