I hope this is something silly that i've overlooked. I just want a simple menu at the top of my MainWindow, except I'd like it to have a boarder and a different font and background color. As you can see from the code, I've added my options to the Menu itself but this seems to have no effect on the menu. Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong?

 
#!perl -w
use strict;
use warnings;
use Tk;

my $mw = MainWindow->new();

my $menubar = $mw->Menu( -borderwidth=> 2, -relief=> "groove", -font=>
+ "{Sans} 14 bold", -background=> 'white' );
$mw->configure( -menu=> $menubar );

my $fileMenu = $menubar->cascade( -label=> "~File", -tearoff => 0 );
$fileMenu->command( -label=> 'E~xit', -command=> \&exit );

MainLoop();
