Hi, how can I simply get all the text from the text box?

this is a sample:

Code:
#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w 
use Tk; 
$mw = MainWindow->new; 
$text = $mw->Text(-width => 40, -height => 10);
$text->pack; 
MainLoop;

Someone suggested me to do like this:
Code:
print $text->cget('-text');
but I get an error what the -text attribute does not exist.

Now I'm doing something like this:
Code:
$text->get('1.0', '100000.10000');
and I get a text with trailing extra new lines, which I have to trim.

So, how can I simply get only the text entered by the user, with no tags, no ranges and no abrakadabras?

$text->get ('1.0','end'); ;-)
