in thread use Tkx & busy/unbusy

doesn't on AS Perl 5.14 on Win7.

Really? Go figure :)

Or did you run this in 5.16? And/or do you have Tcl 8.6 installed on what may be a linux system?

I'm on windows, using a perl 5.14, compiled with mingw -- like http://strawberryperl.com/ and ActiveTcl8.6

still Tk 8.5 http://docs.activestate.com/activeperl/5.16/lib/Tcl/tkkit.html

Or maybe I should look at getting Tcl 8.6 on Win7?

It should be as easy as installing ActivePerl , just get ActiveTcl, and then recompile Tcl/Tcl::Tk, and maybe even switch to Tcl::pTk :)

    For anyone else on linux looking for this documentation that doesn't exist. 
    $main_window->configure( -cursor => 'watch' );
Tkx::update();

long_routine();

$main_window->configure( -cursor => 'top_left_arrow' );
Tkx::update();
