I am writing a Win32::GUI app to monitor a Citrix farm of servers and I've got things going pretty well. The problem is that I make a lot of WMI calls (via Win32::OLE) and they can take anywhere from a second to a couple of minutes to complete. This prevents the GUI code from doing its normal event loop processing and results in a non-responsive windows interface.
I'm thinking that threads are the answer, but any time I've mixed threads and Win32::OLE, the results have been less than satisfactory. Does anyone know how to make Win32::OLE (WMI specifically) and threads work together? Or, is there any way to do async WMI calls? Ken Cornetet 812.482.8499 To err is human - to moo, bovine.
