Kafka,

I was hoping a monk with "Tk::JBrowseEntry" experience would give you some help, since I never worked with it, and only played with "Tk" a few times. That said, after you build your '%color_of' hash you could build another hash with the values of '%color_of' as the keys. ie: Untested!

my %color_of = (
    "apple"  => "red",
    "orange" => "orange",
    "grape"  => "purple",
);
my %rev_color = ();
foreach my $key ( keys %color_of )
{   $rev_color{ $color_of{ $key } } = $key; }
[download]

This allows you to lookup '$value' by using the contents of '$var' as the key for your '%rev_color' hash. ie:

print "Var = $var, Get Result $rev_color{ $var }\n";

Note: you can't have duplicate keys in the new hash.

It may not be perfect, but it's a way of getting your desired results.

Regards...Ed

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
