Just have a look at the following code: #! /usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use utf8; use Gtk2 '-init'; my $clipboard = Gtk2::Clipboard->get( Gtk2::Gdk->SELECTION_CLIPBOARD ); my $clipboard_string = $clipboard->wait_for_text; if ($clipboard_string){ print "Content of clipboard is: $clipboard_string\n"; }else{ print "Content of clipboard is: empty\n"; } Regards Mario _______________________________________________ gtk-perl-list mailing list gtk-perl-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-perl-list
