Hello,
I am attempting to create a GUI using GTK2 that will display images stored on disk.

I have followed the example given in the link below.

http://gtk2-perl.sourceforge.net/doc/gtk2-perl-study-guide/c2349.html

I would like for my GUI to update an image, if the file has been updated on disk.

I have tried many things including using timeouts, add_watch etc. and I have trolled the web trying to find an example for this (most searches take me to perlmonks!).

It sounds simple enough to implement, but it has beaten me. Any assistance or pointers to example code would be very much appreciated.
