You need to set up a routine to call get() after you have run MainLoop(). The easiest way to manage that is to schedule it with after().
# Delete this from your code:
#for ( 0 .. 54 )
#{
# get($_);
# last if ($_ == 53 )
#}
# Replace with:
# Make a closure with $counter.
{ my $counter = 1;
$fetch_data_point = sub {
get($counter++); #collect a data point
$mainwindow->after(100, $fetch_data_point) unless $counter > 5
+4; # schedule the next run, if necessary.
};
}
$mainwindow->after(100, $fetch_data_point ); # wait 100 ms then call
+function ref.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
