Couple of questions regarding Perl/Tk:

[1] I'm trying to get a shell command's output displayed in a listbox.

    open (PIPE, "${strShellCommand}|");
    while ($strLine = <PIPE>) {
      chomp $strLine;
      $objListBox->insert("end", "$strLine");
    }
    close PIPE;

   This seems to complete the shell command before updating the
   screen. Is there a better way? I'd like it updated as there's
   output.

[2] When I create a dialog box, it shows up in light yellow initially
     and then slowly repaints itself grey. Is there a way to change
     the default color for all windows/widgets from within Perl/Tk?

    $objDialogBox=$objWindow->Dialog(
      -background=>'grey',
      -title=>"NOTICE",
      -text=>"This space intentionally left blank.",
      -default_button=>'Ok',
      -buttons=>['Ok']
    );

  TIA:)
