If I switch those two lines as you mentioned:

create_tk_window();#this was after the next line
threads->new(\&update_thread)->detach;

It appears to work to some extent, but after a while, yuo get errors. However i tried twice, and got different message each time. Once it said:

update_thread called...

+06.

+Tk.pm line
 247.

That was the same error you mentioned that you saw. But the second time, I saw a different message (but the program does not fail for a long time, I killed it at the end): 

Attempt to free non-existent shared string '_TK_RESULT_' at C:/Perl/si

pm line 247.
