Thank you. Your method "Modifying your data import loop" works great. I noticed now, that much of the importing time in my script is due to a "sort" I must due during importing. Any way to keep track also of this time? What I have so far is following (after implementig your idea):

sub import {
$dbh = DBI->connect( "dbi:SQLite:files/database/data3.db" ) || die "Ca
+nnot connect: $DBI::errstr";

my $start_time = time(); # remember when we started

foreach my $row_db ( sort { deaccent($a->[($selected_order+2)]) cmp de
+accent($b->[($selected_order+2)]) or $a->[($selected_order+2)] cmp $b
+->[($selected_order+2)] } @$all_select_glossary_orderd ) {

my ($ID, $a, $b,$c, $d, $e, $f) = @$row_db;

### DOING HERE SOMETIHN WITH MY DATA (IMPORT/PRINTING)

    if (time - $start_time > 2) { # 2 seconds have passed
      display_note();
      $mw->update();
    }    
}
$dbh->disconnect;
}


#subrutine for better alphab. sorting
sub deaccent {
    my $in = $_[0];
    return lc($in) unless ( $in =~ y/\xC0-\xFF// ); #short circuit if 
+no upper chars
    # translterate what we can (for speed)
    $in =~ tr/ÀÁÂÃÄÅàáâãäåÇçÈÉÊËèéêëÌÍÎÏìíîïÒÓÔÕÖØòóôõöøÑñÙÚÛÜùúûüÝÿý/
+AAAAAAaaaaaaCcEEEEeeeeIIIIiiiiOOOOOOooooooNnUUUUuuuuYyy/;
    # and substitute the rest
    #my %trans = qw(Æ AE æ ae Þ TH þ th Ð TH ð th ß ss);
    #$in =~ s/([ÆæÞþÐðß])/$trans{$1}/g;
    $in =~ tr/'//d; # d for delete
    return lc($in);
}
