Hey Bloodelf,

I think what you are asking for is a polling function. Check the docs on Tk::after.

Basically to call a function once after a given interval do a:

$id = $widget->after(milliseconds, [ &callback, \$var ]);
[download]

This will call that callback once after X milliseconds. To do a call back repeatedly use repeat instead of after:

$id = $widget->repeat(milliseconds, [ &callback, \$var ]);
[download]

This will call the callback after every X milliseconds. (Above are examples from the docs.) Hope that helps,
