I tried using threads but they don't execute in the background or i simply am not using them correct.

for bigger picture you can see the code uploaded on my github account https://github.com/egzoti4en/MPG123FrontEnd.

I'm trying to count the time that the song has lasted and to draw a status line of it. This what i want to do in this sub and that is why i need a sleep activity to make it sleep and then draw using Curses.(the sub is called status_line()

I have alredy done almost everything so GUI is not an option for me now

You do have to do a little more than put use threads; at the top of your code.

Which is all you've done in the code you posted the link to. (It is preferred that you post your code here, not some other place on the net.)

Did you read the POD for the threads module? Is there something you read but didn't understand that we could help you with?

Yes i'm not sure how to use threads.

I wrote :

my $thr = threads->create(\&status_line());$thr->join();

The sub executes but i'm not able to get the key input.My program is waiting the thread to end. How can i make it not to wait for it.
