Does anybody have any suggestions beside threads? ----- Forwarded message from Eric Lenio <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -----
From: Eric Lenio <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Event.pm usage Hi Joshua, I'm not new to Perl but I am to Event.pm. I read the tutorial that comes with Event.pm but I'm still a little unclear if it can fit my need. I'm writing a Perl app which heavily uses DBI.pm. What I want to do is handle other arbitrary events (mainly user keyboard input) while a time-consuming piece of SQL is running. I'd rather stay away from forking/threading (DBI doesn't really support threads anyway). At first I thought I could watch a variable until it received the result of the SQL return code, but upon further thinking I don't think I can concurrently process user keystrokes... am I correct? Any suggestions? thanks, Eric.
