Well, I have tried with threads and repeat ($mw->update) to try to get the progressbar updated while it goes through dirs recursivly, without luck.

Ok, from the beginning. I have this GUI in Tk. On that I have an Entry and a Button. In the entry you enter a path. Button calls a sub to count files, and then again but this time working with the files. After first go the progressbar is updated with the total files. Now, next, when it goes through, the progressbar is supposed to be updated live, but isnt until the recursive work is done. Actually, first I wanted the progressbar to be shown ontop ( in a new toplevel), but it didnt work properly. So, it ended up in same frame... Anyway, how to make the progressbar to update (and, well, specially the bar shown!) while script goes through dirs recursivly?
