Am I handling the thread creation incorrectly?

... the answer is probably yes..... from my experience with threads under Tk and Gtk2.

....the big glaring hotspot in your code, is that you try to create your threads from a button callback.... most of the time that fails, due to the way Perl threads get created.... you should always avoid making threads from a gui callback..... sometimes they work but are often crashers.....

...see Reusable threads demo for a way around the problem, by creating your threads before any gui code is invoked.... thread safety with all gui toolkits is a problem....there are alot of workarounds however
