TK close window int signal

Stoney2005 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

So i'm trying to set up signal handlers for the script i'm setting up. i'm currently having it catch normal-signals, error-signals, and old-interface-signals. Yeah there is some overlapping stuff but its not a big deal for me. So my question is when you close a normal tk window such as

use Tk;
$mw = new MainWindow; #Initialize main window
$mw->withdraw();
$mw->Popup;
MainLoop;
[download]

What signal is it recieving when you click the window close button on the upper right hand side?

To elaborate, MainLoop is responsible for processing GUI messages. Closing the last toplevel window, ends the MainLoop. `$ perl -MTk -e " tkinit->MainLoop; die qq[hi] " hi at -e line 1.` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

well damn. i know i wrote a post earlier explaining what i tried. mehhh. well i did it now. `$mw->protocol('WM_DELETE_WINDOW',\&clean_exit);` the [] brackets threw me off and broke the code	[reply] [d/l]

There is no need for any of that, just call exit after MainLoop `Main ( @ARGV ); exit ( 0 ); sub Main { ... MainLoop; }` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
