How can I bind an event to right mouse click

I've been trying to paste what is in the clipboard (a word or a number) to entry widget in perl/Tk. I think I need to somehow bind this event to the right mouse click. Can you help me?.

A right-click bind in Tk is relatively simple to acheive: `$object -> bind('<Button-3>', \&subToCall);` If you're under Windows, then the Win32::Clipboard module should help you when it comes to pasting in text. More generally, Tk::Clipboard (which is built in, apparently, I haven't used it) can be used to copy and paste data within the application. Hope this helps .. --Foxcub	[reply] [d/l]
