Re^3: How to introduce threading in socket communication

Without thread the gui is hanging and not scrollable and usable. Hence trying to introduce thread so that the gui does not hang ...

Then why does the OP talk of "But now I want this to be done in a 2-threaded mechanism, where every new connection should start a new thread to accept the data."? (Besides that saying "a 2-threaded mechanism" and "every new connection should start a thread" in the same sentence is very confused; and that the OP code showing nothing to do with Tk.)

You have a concurrent server which could be wrapped up into a function.

Start a thread and run that function in it.
Create a Thread::Queue and have the server thread post the received data onto it.
Run the gui in the main thread and start a periodic timer that checks the queue (say) every 10th of a second, dequeues what it finds and adds it to your gui.

Can you please show me a workng example Two possibilities: You do a Super%20Search for "tk threads IO::Socket" and look at few of the dozens of examples already posted here. Adapt it to your purpose; and ask questions when you get stuck. You post a working example -- with the full tk gui and server -- that demonstrates the your problem, and I'll attempt to modify it to use threads. I try to re-create your tk gui from the 10 word description and the adapt it to meet your specification. Maybe by Christmas...
