I'm writing an application using the GTK-Perl bindings, and I have a
fairly simple question. Within a subroutine of my application, I need
to start another external application. This will be done repeatedly, as
calls to this external application are numerous. This application takes
a while to run, say 10 seconds or so, and during that time, the GTK
windows do not redraw. I have been experimenting with many ways to
start this process (fork, system, open), and also using the waitpid
function. It is important that after a process has been spawned it is
allowed to complete before it is called again. I have also tried
including statements such as the following:
while (Gtk->events_pending)
{
Gtk->main_iteration;
}
Still no luck. I'd really appreciate some help with this.
Thanks,
Steve
