in thread Perl/Tk problem on Windows

If you get it to work using threads I will be interested in learning how. I have tried fork and threads with Tk and the only thing that kind of works is when you fork in such a way that you never manipulate a widget within the child. To communicate with the parent I use a pair of pipes. I would give POE a shot if you are not successful with threads.

    Sure, will let you know if I get it working with threads. I will definitely need to manipulate a widget within the child, atleast in the final version that I had envisaged.
    The POE idea looks promising. I found lots of similar apps written in POE (http://poe.perl.org/?POE_Cookbook). I only hope the learning curve isn't too great. I haven't used POE before, and I have limited time I can spend on this; it's a personal project of mine, the goal being to avoid having to monitor multiple unix sessions :) .
