Hey Rob, Good to see you are at least trying to keep up :p
WaitMessage... Ah, I was wondering what that was for.... The question I of course must supply is ... (dun dun dun) ... to attach said thread's queue to said function? Jason P. In the mean time, I will certainly continue to provide some example in addition to what yourself and Jez have worked on. -----Original Message----- From: Robert May [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, February 07, 2006 5:52 PM To: Emmanuel E Cc: Plum, Jason; perl-win32-gui-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [win32gui] Re: [perl-win32-gui-users] Multi-Threaded Example Hi all, Apologies if I duplicate stuff that's already been said later in this thread, but I've only go a few minutes to try and catch up. I'll post a link to the code that Jez and I were working on at the end of last year once I've got through the messages here.

They do, but you'll get nasty crashes every time a thread exits, as the DESTROY method on the objects get called in the exiting thread, and those DESTROY methods are not (even close) to being threadsafe. > However I get the following message when the script exits: > Scalars leaked: 1 > Scalars leaked: 1 > Wonder what thats related to? Perl bugs - IIRC the docs say that this warning should not happen, and if it does there's a bug somewhere. As an aside use diagnostics; is a very useful pragma if you ever want more information about warnings. Regards, Rob.
