Hey thanks for the idea, I had not thought of that -- I'll give that a try.

Thanks for the workaround -- I think perl/tk may actually be able to do this on it's own, but I tried Win32::Clipboard and it worked great -- a lot easier than figuring it out in ptk.<br />

Hi there, <br />
<br />
I have a Perl/Tk application that I've written that has a few scrolling Text box widgets for user entry. The whole application works fine, and copying/cutting and pasting operations between the various text boxes works exactly as it should while the application is running. However, when the application closes, the data on the clipboard is lost. So, for example, if I type some stuff in a box and copy it, I could paste it immediately into notepad. However, if I close the application and then try to paste, the clipboard is empty.<br />
<br />
Is there any way to preserve the clipboard data after the application is closed? I doubt that this matters, but I am working on Windows XP (and I am mainly concerned with this application working on Windows machines).<br />
<br />
I am using activestate perl v5.008004 for MSWin32 (win32 build 810) and Tk v. 804.027<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance for any help!<br />
Cheers, <br />
Matt

Perl/Tk clipboard question

Perl is a high-level, general-purpose, interpreted, dynamic programming languages with over 25 years of development. Perl 5 runs on over 100 platforms from portables to mainframes and is suitable for both rapid prototyping and large-scale development projects.  Perl gained widespread popularity as a Common Gateway Interface (CGI) scripting language, in part due to its regular expression and string parsing abilities. In addition to CGI, Perl is used for graphics programming, system administration, network programming, finance, bioinformatics, and other applications.
