I cant get it to make a gui in a thread with perl 5.8... Is the bug with perl?? 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use Tk;
use threads;

# Create main window
sub gui {
  my $main = MainWindow->new;

  # Add a Label and a Button to main window
  $main->Label(-text => 'Hello, world!')->pack;
  $main->Button(-text => 'Quit',
    -command => [$main => 'destroy']
    )->pack;

  # Spin the message loop
  MainLoop;
}
my $server_thread = threads->create("gui");
while (1) {
  sleep(1);
  print "cav\n";
}
