Passing messages to a window might not seem very complicated, but if there are more windows, and many rules based on admin's preferences, on user's schedule, or by user's request, might make the program a spaghetti application. I think what I want to do should be a very common client-server application. Do you know if I could find somewhere such sample apps made in perl?
My suggestion is to try perlmonks.org and do a super search for "Tk threads"; its been discussed and coded there numerous times. Here's the most recent: http://www.perlmonks.com/?node_id=522177 FWIW: you might take a look at Thread::Apartment to see if you can wrap Wx in its own thread, and make it look like you're passing objects around. I'd started to create a Tk::Threaded for Perl/Tk based on that, but it needs inter-thread tie()'d operations, which aren't available via the current ithreads environment. - Dean
