in thread Win32::Gui + Threading?

Hmm, it looks promising... but I really can't tie up the users internet connection like that (constant polling)...

    Although I'm not sure what you're trying to do, you don't have to constantly poll. Maybe something like this pseudo-code: 
    
On button click->add timer to do subroutine A.

sub A() {
    if(socket != EOF)
      { open socket, read line. }
    else
      { kill timer. }
}

    Hope this helps.
