As I pointed out in private email, the Timer is
different from the other event sources. I didn't know
that when I wrote the module, since I had never (or at
least not recently) used Timers.
Timer requires a listener passed to its constructor.
This required a bit of redesign. Version 0.03 of
Java::Swing is now making its way around the mirrors.
With it you can use the Timer in a similar spirit to
the other event sources. Do it like this (as shown in
the updated pod):
my $timer = Timer->new(
$delay,
{ actionPerformed => \&myTimerListener}
);
Then, don't forget to start the timer before starting
the Java::Swing event loop:
$timer->start();
my $swinger = Java::Swing->new();
$swinger->start();
It should also be possible to connect additional
listening callbacks to the Timer by calling connect,
but I haven't tried that.

Thanks for writing. Most of the code provided with
this module is autogenerated. That means I haven't
considered special cases very much and most of them
don't work. I need people who do use them to point
out where they fail.
