in thread creating simple GUI

Thnx for the reply GrandFather.... suppose I have this in my code: 
use Tk;
my $main=new MainWindow;
$main->title("Test window");
<I print a message "msg" in the window at this line>;
MainLoop;

Now how do I add another message to the window.. ? My requirement is.. I should update the window after the MainLoop statement. Just let me know how exactly to use UPDATE()??

    I don't know how you show your message, but the code below updates the title bar of the main window to "show progress"

    use warnings;
use strict;
use Tk;

my $main= MainWindow->new (-title => "Test window");

$main->update ();
sleep (2);

$main->title ("Message");
$main->update ();
sleep (2);

$main->title ("Startup done");
MainLoop;
