Below is a subroutine that is part of a perl/Tk script. The variable $test_path is initialized earlier to the empty string and the variable $tests_directory is likewise initialized to the correct directory. The array @test_files contains entries such as (test1, test2, ..) and is correctly set by the subroutine. The problem comes with -command=>sub {$test_path="$tests_directory/$_"; print "$test_path\n";} $test_path is not set to $test_directory/test1, $test_directory/test2, but only to $test_directory, as if @test_files were empty, which is not the case. Thanks for any advice, Dick Fell
