Re^4: Can't get Dialog or messageBox to work from button

Probably that in Tk methods, Tk prefer to have the address of the functions (object reference).	[reply]

But that's what `sub { ... }` already returns. There is no need to have a subroutine reference that itself returns another subroutine reference when called, especially when you want the function call to happen instead.	[reply] [d/l]
