Determining Item Type (Mastering Perl/Tk)

9.16. Determining Item Type

To determine an item's type, call the type method:

$canvas->type(tag/id);

If the tag or ID matches more than one item, only the type of the first item is returned. The returned value will be a string describing the item type: "oval", "text", "rectangle", and so on.
