Dear Elders, this dialog misbehaves, does not listen to me, what should I do?

The prompt changes from 'some error message' to 'we're ok now!' but does not go away entirely. It stays out there with an "ok" button. How do I make it go away altogether? Thank you!

$warnings = ""; $prompt_warning = $mw->Dialog(-title => 'Warings:', -textvariable => \ +$warnings, -bitmap => 'warning' ); $prompt_warning->destroy if ($warnings eq 'we\re ok no +w!'); $answer= &readmap(1069); #reads warings from my invertor for (my $i=1; $i<256; $i=$i*2) { if (($answer&$i)!=0) { $warning = EnWarning{$answer&$i}; $prompt_warning->Show( ); } } if ($answer==0) { $warnings = 'we\'re ok now!'; $prompt_warning->destroy; } }
