You need to assign the widget references returned
by the constructors to variables so that your
first Optionmenu can invoke the second Optionmenu's
configure() method to configure the -options
attribute.
Give this code a try and see if it works for you.
You'll have to replace the list of directories
assigned to @myArr with directory
names that exist on your system.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use Tk;
use Tk::widgets qw(
Label
Optionmenu
);
my $mw = tkinit;
my $selectedDir;
my @files;
my $path = '.';
my @myArr = qw(foo bar);
my $myFile;
my ($Label1, $OptMenu1, $Label2, $OptMenu2);
$Label2 = $mw->Label(-text => "level2 ");
# no -options: we'll let $OptMenu1 configure -options
$OptMenu2 = $mw->Optionmenu(
-textvariable => \$myFile,
);
$Label1 = $mw->Label(-text => "level1 ");
$OptMenu1 = $mw->Optionmenu(
-textvariable => \$selectedDir,
# -command is invoked when the widget is
# allocated and when a selection is made:
-command => sub {
# redirect the output of ls(1) to /dev/null unless
# you want stderr output on the console
@files = `ls $path/$selectedDir 2>/dev/null`;
#foreach (@files) { chomp() }
chomp @files; # chomp() take a LIST
warn 'configure $OptMenu2'; # who needs a debugger?
$OptMenu2->configure(-options => \@files);
},
-options => \@myArr,
);
$Label1->grid($OptMenu1, $Label2, $OptMenu2);
MainLoop;
Update:
Minor speeling correction.

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).
