Mastering Perl/Tk

The Application’s Name

The name of the application used in the option file is, by default, the name of the file from which the script is run. You can use the appnamemethod to change the name of the application:

$mw->appname("newname");

You can find out the current name of the application by calling appname with no arguments:

$name = $mw->appname;

For more details about the significance of the application name, see Chapter 20.
