Thank you Dean. I will search on perlmunks and try to see if I can adapt
something for WxPerl.
Unfortunately I can't use Tk because this GUI is absolutely inaccessible for
screen readers and I am blind, so I can't test if it even works.

Passing messages to a window might not seem very complicated, but if

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:

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.
