Hello, After compiling Win32::GUI script with PerlApp PDK 6.0.2 and running it as EXE Animation control freezes while fork() or system() are executed on the background to run CPU-intensive processes. However, uncompiled .PL script runs fine - AVI file is being played OK. Does anybody have a workaround ? or had a similar issue?
code looks similar to this: sub btn_Start_Click { $animation->Open(file.avi); $animation->Play(0,-1,-1); $animation->Show(); &runsomething(); } sub runsomething { open CH, "gpresult |"; while (<CH>) { #do something...; } # or : system("gpresult"); close CH; } As mentioned above, perl script.pl runs just fine, though child process utilizes up to 99% of CPU time. I have tried DoEvents() with no effect whatsoever. Thank you, Igor.
