Code tested as is on Win98/ActiveState 5.8.2 (identical results from MS_DOS Prompt and MSYS commandline): 

[ ~/tmp ] $ perl pg_filevent 
Start to listen ...
Entered numbers()
about to send 1
Connection established
about to send 2
about to send 3
about to send 4
about to send 5
about to send 6
about to send 7
about to send 8
about to send 9
about to send 10
numbers() thread quiting ...

The last line was repeated every time button was clicked.

I then retested as before but with 'fileevent' commented out: 

[ ~/tmp ] $ perl pg_filevent 
Start to listen ...
Entered numbers()
about to send 1
Connection established
about to send 2
about to send 3
about to send 4

With this test I noticed that the number displayed above the button incremented with each button click.

In the previous tests, I waited until numbers() thread quiting ... was displayed before clicking the button. In this test, I started clicking the button as soon as the GUI appeared. 

[ ~/tmp ] $ perl pg_filevent 
Start to listen ...
