Ie. that ->visible() one is just the widget flags bits getter/setter, it
doesn't do anything.  The pod could make that clearer.

Or plain property "visible" as in $widget->set(visible=>1) in all
versions.  ->hide and ->show are probably easier for direct on or off,
or use the visible property if computing a visibility like (untested),

    $want_visibile = ($cbox->get_active_text eq "four");
    $label2->visible($want_visibile);
    $entry1->visible($want_visibile);
