in thread Inotify2 + AnyEvent

I'm not going to install Tk at the moment.

Ok, thanks for explaining. It's the () that causes premature exiting.

#!/usr/bin/perl use warnings; use strict; use Tk; my $mw = new MainWindow; $mw->geometry("400x200"); my $button = $mw->Button(-text => "Sub test exit", -command => \&callback(), # exits prematurely # -command => \&callback, # works ok )->pack(); MainLoop; sub callback{ print "exiting\n"; Tk::exit; } __END__

I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth.
