And, in case you haven't already looked it up, WaitForChange() accepts a millisecond time-out parameter. So, you can call `$changed = $clip->WaitForChange(1);` to get a "non-blocking" wait. bbfu Black flowers blossom Fearless on my breath	[reply] [d/l]

You might also want to take a look at the Tk::After POD and the other methods it provides in addition to repeat() (like after(), afterIdle(), etc.). Also of interest would be waitVariable() and the other wait* methods (see Tk::Widget).	[reply]
