in reply to Perl TK BrowseEntry error

I can't explain the error that you're getting effectively, it seems that there's a widget event associated with the mouse left button release click. Here is another way to do it...by using a "scrolled Listbox" and by double clicking on a month you can get its corresponding value printed to the console, also you can do the same from clicking the button as you've originally intended:
#!/usr/local/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use Tk; my $mainWindow = MainWindow->new(-title=>"Main Window"); my $listBox = $mainWindow->Scrolled( 'Listbox', -scrollbars=>'e' )->pack; $listBox->insert('end',qw(Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sept Oct Nov + Dec)); $listBox->bind('<Double-1>', \&getActive); $mainWindow->Button( -text=>'print value', -command=>\&getActive, )->pack(); sub getActive{ my $month; $month = $listBox->get('active'); #detects a selected list item print $month,"\n"; }; MainLoop;

Update: On closer inspection, why do you want to destroy the frame "$top_f" since it contains the widget that lets you browse the months collection?

my $button=$top->Button( -text=>'Print Value', -command => \&printMonth, #-relief=>'raised' )->pack(); sub printMonth{ print "The Current Month is $month\n"; }
