Re^2: Tk Mainloop

zentara,

Asterisk::AMI is the management interface to an Asterisk VOIP server. I use it to make calls, inject DTMF, hangup, etc. It can be event driven, but I am not using callbacks. What I don't understand is that I disconnect from it and undef $asterisk, but something is lingering.

I was hoping there was some way to completely remove any remnants of my call to asterisk::AMI. I'd rather not start new threads.

I was hoping there was some way to completely remove any remnants of my call to asterisk::AMI. There may be some way to completely remove all remnants of the object, possibly with something like this: `undef @$asterisk;` [download] Also see "cleaning out" object data and Object::Destroyer I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth.

I was trying undef without success. I was hopeful about Object::Destroyer, but that didn't help my problem. It was good to discover though! But I'm about to give up. The strange thing is that creating a totally unrelated object can cause Mainloop to not exit. Why would Mainloop even care?	[reply]

Why would Mainloop even care? Well maybe its a situation where MainLoop dosn't know! Something in that asterisk code is probably blocking the MainLoop's eventloop from working. Here is a big clue. From the AMI.pm: Warning - Mixing Event-loops and blocking actions If you are running an event loop and use blocking methods (e.g +. get_response, check_response, action, simple_action, connected) the outcome is unspecified. It may w +ork, it may lock everything up, the action may work but break something else. I have tested it and behavior s +eems unpredictable at best and is very circumstantial. If you are running an event-loop use non-blocking callbacks! I +t is why they are there! However if you do play with blocking methods inside of your lo +ops let me know how it goes. [download] You may need to work out those non-blocking methods. I would say you are best off forking the asterisk code off, or putting it into a thread of it's own.
