Hi zentara,

Some time ago (about a year), I tried running your demonstration with background workers. Then forgotten about it until recently and thought lost. Notice the 1 ms repeat interval for no other reason than to see Gtk, Tk, and STDOUT go :) Well, am no longer worried about losing these two demonstrations for running background workers with Gtk2 and Tk.

Gtk2 + Tk + MCE::Hobo + MCE::Shared

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

use Gtk2;
use Tk;
use MCE::Hobo;
use MCE::Shared;
use Time::HiRes 'time';

$| = 1;

my $que = MCE::Shared->queue( fast => 1 );
my $count = MCE::Shared->scalar( 0 );
my $count_tk = 0;

MCE::Hobo->create( sub {
   while (defined (my $c = $que->dequeue)) { print "$c\n"; }
}) for (1..3);

my $start = time;

# setup Tk loop
my $mw = MainWindow->new(-title=>'Tk Window');
my $labtk = $mw->Label(-textvariable => \$count_tk)->pack;

# setup Gtk2 loop
Gtk2->init;
my $window = Gtk2::Window->new('toplevel');
$window->set_title('Gtk2 Window');
my $glabel = Gtk2::Label->new("This is a  Gtk2 Label 0");
$window->add($glabel);
$window->show_all;

# make Tk loop the master, but you could make Gtk2 master if desired
# the lower the repeat rate, i.e. 1 ms,
# will give more cpu time to the gtk2 loop
# this is sometimes called manually pumping the event loop
my $tktimer = $mw->repeat( 1, sub {
   my $c = $count->incr;
   $count_tk = $c;
   $glabel->set_text("This is a  Gtk2 Label $c");
   Gtk2->main_iteration while Gtk2->events_pending;
   quit() if ($c >= 2000);
   $que->enqueue(($c) x 3);
});

$mw->Button( -text => ' Tk control Quit ', -command => \&quit )->pack;

$mw->protocol( WM_DELETE_WINDOW => \&quit );

MainLoop;

sub quit {
   $tktimer->cancel(), $que->clear(), $que->end();
   $_->kill('QUIT') for MCE::Hobo->list();
   kill('TERM', -$$);
   exit;
}

END {
   printf "duration: %0.03f seconds\n", time - $start;
