in thread (Solved) Perl Tk: STDOUT and STDERR to ROText

Hi Zentara,

Thanks for your suggestion. Using timer functions like repeat is not working for me. As I said, printer is just a placeholder for another long running task (extracting a very big file).

I posted a working example using pipes and fork in my reply above. I have not yet tested, if this will run under Windows as well. This will have to wait until tomorrow.

BR from Germany,
