Re: Tk and blocking loops

it's not really worth a seperate SoPW, so i just wanted to ask here if i'm correct in assuming that this whole fileevent doesn't really work on win32, or am i mistaken? (if someone says that it DOES work, i'll at least know that i have to try harder)..

fileevent doesn't work with ActivePerl 5.6.1 or 5.8.0. I'm not sure about other versions. I'm really upset about the whole thing, too, since POE requires fileevent to work with Tk. Anyway, here's a test case (pure Tk) that you can use to verify whether fileevent works with your OS/Perl/Tk environment. It should be portable across UNIX and Win32. `-- Rocco Caputo - troc@pobox.com - poe.perl.org` Read more... (1439 Bytes)	[reply] [d/l]
