in thread Perl tk - open file and print content

Can you suggest me the correct sintax to link print@line in $mw....???

You can't print in the $mw directly, but you can print to a Scrolled Text Widget in the $mw. 

#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use Tk;

open (FH,"<$0") or warn "$!\n";
my @lines = <FH>;
close FH;

my $mw  = MainWindow->new(-title=>'Colored Text');
$mw->geometry(($mw->screenwidth-10) . 'x' .
             ($mw->screenheight-10) . '+0+20');

$mw->fontCreate('big',
   -family=>'arial',
  -weight=>'bold',
  -size => 25 );

my $text = $mw->Scrolled("Text",
          -scrollbars => 'osw',
          -background => 'white',
          -font =>'big',
      -wrap => 'none',
                          )->pack;

$text->tagConfigure('greyline', -background => 'grey95');

my $toggle = -1;
 for (@lines) {
      my $greyline;
      if( $toggle == 1 ){ my $greyline = '' }
         else { $greyline = 'greyline' }

     $text->insert('end',"$_",$greyline);
     $toggle *= -1;
 }

MainLoop;

    Thanks you for your reply and herlp. Unfortunately with this script i didn't resolve my problem. Because this print out the code of the script itself. I would like to print in that scrolled txt widget what i choose to open when i push a button. ( "open" that calls the function 'Get_open_file' that show me the dir of my PC, than choosing a txt file it should be printed in that scrolled widgets. I don't know if i have been clear! I hope you understand me....please save me ! It's really important

      If you want to print multiple files, it might be best to push all file selections into an array, then send the whole array to the printer, after selections are done. There are many ways to do it. 
      #!/usr/bin/perl
use Tk;
use strict;

my $TOP = MainWindow->new;

my $button = $TOP->Button(-text=> 'Print It' ,
    -command => sub{ 
      my $file_r = &fileDialog($TOP);
      print"\n selected this file $file_r\n";
      
      # use whatever method you want to send
      # $file_r to the printer    
      # like with Net::Cups
        print " printing now!\n";
      # system( "lpr -lp0 -f $file_r"); #untested
    
    }
)->pack();



MainLoop;

sub fileDialog {
 my( $w ) = @_;
 my @types =( ["C files",    [qw/.c++ .cpp .c/]],
 ["Log files",      [qw/.log/]],,
 ["Text files",     [qw/.txt/]],
 ["All files",      '*']
);
 my $file = $w->getOpenFile( -filetypes => \@types );
 return($file);
}

#......All the menu items are not showed in the code, only the part of
+ interest.....:

# OPEN FILE                                                           
+

    -label       => 'Open',
    -accelerator => 'Ctrl-o',
    -underline   => 0,
    -command => \&open_file);
$mw->bind('<Control-o>', [\&open_file]);


#SUPPORTED FILES TO OPEN
my $types_OPEN = [ ['SFF files', '.sff'],
                   ['All Files',   '*'],];



sub open_file {my $open = $mw->getOpenFile(-filetypes => $types_OPEN,
                              -defaultextension => '.sff');

                     $read_fh = IO::File->new("$open",'r');
                     read_text($read_fh);
}
                 
sub read_text

{  my @lines;
        @lines = <$read_fh>;
    my $mw  = MainWindow->new(-title=>'Colored Text');    

        $mw => print @lines;
MainLoop 
}

Please don't call me pesky, but can you correct this script so to obtain what i need!!! TNX a lots
