Howdy! I would like to "get" the text that is in a Tk table. The table is 2 columns and 8 rows, and I'd like to "get" what is in one of the cells.

What I want is:

The stuff that is in box (2,2) is SOME TEXT.

But what I get is:

The stuff that is in box (2,2) is Tk::LabEntry=HASH(0x8a74ff0)

 #!/usr/bin/perl
#
# wid2.pl
#

$|=1;

use Tk;

require Tk::LabFrame;
require Tk::LabEntry;
require Tk::Table;

my $mw = MainWindow->new;
$mw->geometry("+400+400");
my $LaLo = $mw->LabFrame(-label => "LaLo", -labelside => "acrosstop");
$LaLo->form(-top => '%0', -left => '0', -bottom => '%100');



my $table_frame = $LaLo->Frame()->pack();
my $table = $table_frame->Table(-columns => 2,
                                -rows => 10,
                                -fixedrows => 1,
                                -scrollbars => 'oe',
                                -relief => 'raised');

  my $tmp_label = $table->Label(-text => "LAT" , -width => 8, -relief 
+=>'raised');
  $table->put(0, 1, $tmp_label);

  my $tmp_label = $table->Label(-text => "LONG" , -width => 8, -relief
+ =>'raised');
  $table->put(0, 2, $tmp_label);


#generate the 2x8 table and put blank space in each one
foreach my $row (1 .. 8)
{
  foreach my $col (1 .. 2)
  {
     $tmp_label = $table->LabEntry(-text => "",
                                  -background => 'white',
                                  -relief => "groove");
    $table->put($row, $col, $tmp_label);
  }
}

# Now put  a value in one of them
$tmp_label=$table->LabEntry(-text=>"SOME TEXT GOES HERE");
$table->put(2,2,$tmp_label);
