in thread Perl::Tk app to manipulate pasted text on the fly

This is very cool! This is the kind of thing I find myself making for odd jobs too. I have, as the commenter suggested, used Win32::Clipboard to eliminate the gui entirely though.

The user would click on an icon to start the program and then anytime they copied text that matched a specific regex into the clipboard, it would be replaced with the munged text, so they could just cut, paste, cut, paste..

If I can dig it up I'll post it.

    Thanks. I have since added a clipilize button that handles text to and from the clipboard. Please see my update above.
