Monks of honor:
I've come to realize that Tk does have some limitations that I need to know how to get around. I have a button that leads to a command:
my $button_submit = $lf->Button(
-text => 'Search',
-command => \&get_data
)->pack(qw//);
This works perfectly to build a button but once I'm in the subroutine, I no longer can use the Tk command configure to update other fields. This is necessary. My program works so that it takes the information from a field when you click the button, searches a database for a match and returns the matching row. (to make a long story short)
What I really need to do is find out some way to use the configure command for Tk inside that subroutine or know how to make a button in which I can save a varriable (like below but note: this does not work.
my @info;
my $button_submit = $lf->Button(
-text => 'Search',
-command => \@info = \&get_data
)->pack(qw//);
In case anyone is wondering, below is posted the error I get when I try to run the command. (inside the subroutine)
$varname->configure(-textvariable => 'helloo');
The Error Message:
Tk::Error: Can't call method "configure" on an undefined value at disp
+atch.pl li
ne 158.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>

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).
