How do I do, so that I can get the name of the selected file OUTSIDE the open_file function, for instance in the MAIN function?
Create a variable outside the scope of the function, and set its value
inside the function
EG:
#!/usr/bin/perl
# snip
my $filename = '';
sub open_file {
# stuff
$filename = $fileselection->get_filename;
}
then other parts of the program can get the value of $filename as they
need it.
Seems pretty simple to me.
