Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello, it seems the initialfile option in getSaveFile is not working. I put in test and was hoping the word would appear in the GUI. Here's the code: 

use Tk;
$mw=MainWindow->new;
my $save = $mw->getSaveFile(-title=>'TEST',-initialfile=>'test');

    Works for me.
    perl, v5.8.4 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread
    Tk 804.027

    I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6.x and 5.8.x -- I take requests (README).

    Works for me too under linux. What versions of Perl and Tk are you using? Maybe it's time to upgrade.

      The posted code doesn't create a file, so what are you talking about?
