Oops. There is bug in the above under Linux (but not MS windows and OS-X).

If you don't select a popup menu item, the popup stays there--clicking elsewhere in the window does not close it. You can end up with dozens of them scattering the landscape.

The only 'cure' I can find is store the menu which has been popped up in a global, and bind a left mouse down event to unpost the global (ignored by Windoze and OS-X which intrinsically remove popup menus). Probably should bind the Escape key to do the same.

Ugly, ugly. There HAS to be a better way!! 

my $oldmenu;
...
sub add_edit_popup
{
  ...
  $obj->bind('<3>', 
    [sub { my ($w, $x, $y) = @_; $menu->post($x, $y); 
           $oldmenu = $menu; }, Ev('X'), Ev('Y'), ]);
  $mw->bind('<ButtonPress-1>', 
    [sub { if ($oldmenu) { $oldmenu->unpost; } undef $oldmenu; } ]);
}
