Arrow Notation Question

[Gross, Stephan]

I'm using Win32::GUI.  I create a text field and call it $TextField.  The
user inputs some text, say "abc".  
If I say
    print "$TextField->Text";
I get 
    Win32::GUI::Textfield=HASH(0x23762b0)->Text
If instead I say 
    $x = $TextField->Text;
    print "$x";
I get
    abc
 
Why the difference?
