Tk already has "threads" :-S
try this:
use Tk;
my $mw = new MainWindow();
my $button = $mw->Button(-text => "HEY")->pack();
$mw->after(1,\&thread_sub); # after 1 ms, calls thread_sub
# it'll run like a thread, but isn't really!
# See http://www.foo.be/docs/tpj/issues/vol1_3/tpj0103-0006.html
MainLoop();
sub thread_sub
{
for (my $i=0; $i<10_000_000; $i++)
{
# DO NOTHING. LET THE TIME BE TIME
}
# CHANGE BUTTON'S TEXT PROPERTY TO "hey" HERE
$button->configure(-foreground=>'red');
}
It's a weird example though... what were you planning on doing? Do you really need threads or would Tk timeslicing do?

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
