Hello, I need to start subroutine before MainLoop() (its a while loop) This is the sub: -------- 
sub CheckTime {
    $exeTime=18;
    $Hour=shift(@_);
    $loopStop=0;
while ($loopStop==0) {
      sleep(1); # 1 = 1s
($sec,$min,$hour,$mday,$mon,$year,$wday,$yday,$isdst) = localtime(time
+);
    
$ZWIDGETS{'Text1'} -> insert('end',"Waiting......\n");

if ($hour==$exeTime) { $loopStop=1; $ZWIDGETS{'Text1'} -> insert('end'
+,"Starting.....\n");}
       }
      return $hour;
}

---------------------------------------- And when I put it in this way, first program do the while loop and than start window: ----------------------------------------- 
&CheckTime($HourGet);
MainLoop();
