Assuming there is no logic issues with the above (add a couple of
print statements to see if you get to DoEvents) then the only thing I
can think of is that NET::IRC is doing a blocking call, resulting in a
frozen GUI. If this is the case, then you are best moving to a
threaded solution, were one thread deals the GUI, with the other
dealing with NET::IRC.

yes, you are right, Net::IRC is blocking, even though the documentation
says that do_one_loop allows it to work with other event based loops
like Tk. Considering I'm a newbie, I have no idea where to begin using
threads or processes. My program will need to share data with the IRC
thread, so I know forking won't work right even with SIG. I was looking
at Win32::Process but I'm so confused. Anybody know of a good
book/website/tutorial/example using Win32::Process?
