Greetings Monks,

Well, I have this rather large application, and I just decided to "convert" a "standard" script into a more object oriented ala POE. (POE seems really handy, particularly in this case).
Anyway, broken down the important code related to the problem I have: 
POE::Session->create
                    ( inline_states =>
                        { _start   => \&startApplication,
                        searchmode => \&searchMode,
                        }
                    );

POE::Session->create
                    ( inline_states =>
                        { _start   => \&searchUpdate,
                        }
                    );

$poe_kernel->run();

# Relevant is also:
sub startApplication {

  $poe_main_window->Toplevel(-title => "Search");

  .... jadajadajada ....

}
sub searchUpdate {

  while(1) {
    next if (!$INTERESTING);

    ! DO ALOT !

  }


}

Now, I thought that these two sessions would start as a seperate "thread", but apparently not, since the first one is never shown (the first session is a Tk based GUI). Yes, apparently, there needs to be some $session->postback set else the session will end anyway... (compared to Mainloop) (Why? And how to fix this btw (If I dont wanna set any postbacks...)?)
If I remove the "second" session, the GUI is shown.

Ideas how to run these simultaneously (as this is what POE is supposed to be good at, eh)?

Thanks,
Ace
