Re^2: Parallel processing on Windows -- Tk and MCE

> The application that I had in mind requires Tk which is not compatible with MCE

this is not entirely true: see Re: Perl Tk and Threads by master zentara:

> 1. The thread must be created before any Tk widgets are invoked...

> 2. Do not put any Tk code into the thread, and do not try to access Tk widgets from the thread. Use shared variables to communicate with the main thread, and have a timer or fileevent in the main Tk thread, read from the thread.

See also Re^3: Parallel download Tk where choroba points to his fully threaded Tk application, which is able to use different threading machanisms on windows, MCE among them.
