I wrote a fairly simple perl/tk irc client on a linux laptop, using standard perl distribution (5.6). I wrote two versions of it, using Net::IRC module in the first & simple one, and POE+POE::Component::IRC module in the second one, which contains many advanced network features (xml messaging,db connections,etc.).
My problem is that I'd like to let that app (these app, even) run on Win32. But afaik, Tk on Win32 suffers from sockets/fileevent problems, which in my case just prevents the code to run, plain and simple. The application does start, but the network functions (irc,...) don't run at all. This is quite embarrassing for an IRC client ;)
I had a look at Oreilly's Mastering Perl/TK book, it features some fix for Win32 users, using shared memory tricks in the TkComics sample, but I don't understand if I can hack my current code with fixes like that, i.e write a two-ways bundle, like an irc client sending its output to a 'listening' Tk app which could display irc events and also send them back.
Any help would be greatly appreciated ;=) Thanks
