My application displays the content of a log file into a TextField using Win32::GUI.
The number of lines displayed is set inside a config file and I want to reload the file when the user click a menu item "Reload Config" and to reset the maximum number of line to display.
For test purpose I disabled all threads and process that are creating a lot of logs and I just printed the value of my variable.
When I close the application I can see the variable value correctly updated. Can somebody give me a hint?
Thanks a lot in advance!
==========================================================
My code is something like that :
# Init my variables
my $liveview_max_line;

# Load the configuration file
load_cfg("myconf.cfg");

# Let's create the logger
my $log_conf = q(
    log4perl.category         = ALL,Logfile
    log4perl.appender.Logfile.filename = sub { return get_log_fn(); }
    log4perl.appender.Logfile.mode = append
    log4perl.appender.Logfile = Log::Dispatch::FileRotate
    log4perl.appender.Logfile.max         = sub { return get_max_file(
+); }
    log4perl.appender.Logfile.size         = sub { return get_max_file
+_size(); }
    log4perl.appender.Logfile.DatePattern = yyyy-MM-dd
    log4perl.appender.Logfile.TZ          = PST
    log4perl.appender.Logfile.layout = PatternLayout
    log4perl.appender.Logfile.layout.ConversionPattern = %m %n
);
Log::Log4perl::init( \$log_conf );
my $logger = Log::Log4perl::get_logger();

# Make Menu
my $Menu = Win32::GUI::MakeMenu(
    " &?"             => { -name => "Help",       -enabled => 1  },
    " > &Reload"            => { -name => "Reload",      -onClick => \
+&gw_OnClick },
);

... other items added here

# Create Textfield for Edit Text
$mw->AddTextfield(
    -name      => "Edit",
    -pos       => [0, 0],
    -size      => [100, 100],
    -multiline => 1,
    -hscroll   => 1,
    -vscroll   => 1,
    -autohscroll => 1,
    -autovscroll => 1,
    -keepselection => 1 ,
    -font => $EditFont,
    -readonly => 1,
);

... build the gui and show the main window with Win32::GUI::Dialog();
