Re^4: Echoless terminal state after exiting Tk/Term::ReadLine event loop (Solved!)

Nice of you to suggest Glib, which appears to be useful for many functions besides events.

My needs at present are really pedaestrian--just a couple of basic watchers--only complicated because the app I'm working on has terminal-based and Tk-GUI interfaces. I pretty much have to use Tk::event for the Tk and Tk/ReadLine side. I have similar watchers written using Event.pm for the text interface, because I don't want to force Tk on people who might be console users. So it won't be both loops together. Just one of the other. It looks like AnyEvent will let me code identically to both Event and Tk::event backends, as well as to Glib or Wx if I decide I want to snazz up my GUI.

.... just keep the dream going.... :-) .... i was toying with the idea of modeling thought after the concept of "living loops" that spawn new loops, etc... i figure i would have the master controlling loop written in c, but the spawned loops would be Perl for ease of writing. Keeping the master loop as c, would really simplify memory cleanup; and having Perl as the secondary loop language, would greatly simplify writing realtime code..... sort of self-writing code .... ok i have to stop.... this is getting too close to the tru.....

What sort of loops? Most male behavior can be simulated by three loops: `- any breasts in sight? if so look - am i hungry? if so, go to fridge - any beer in the fridge? if so open one` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

*what sort of loops* video processing loop, microphone processing, detecting current environmental conditions..... etc..etc....philosopher, know thyself ;-) ps: stop looking at my breasts....oops, your loop has a bug.... maybe it should have launched a sex-detection thread, before ordering the camera pods to look, start thread to report malfunction to creator....oh wait start homosexual guilt thread...oh no stop that one.....revert to judeo christian guilt thread.... ....philosopher, know myself ... ;-) I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth.
