[perl-win32-gui-users] looping in win32 GUI

[christopher sagayam]

$|=1;
use Win32::RASE;
eval "use Time::HiRes qw(sleep)";
$hrasconn = (RasEnumConnections())[1];
$old_status = -1;
while ( ($status, $status_text) = RasGetConnectStatus($hrasconn) ) {
   if ($status != $old_status) {
       print "$status: $status_text\n";
       $old_status =  $status;
   }
   sleep ($@ ? 1 : 0.01);
}
# error 6 - Invalid handle
($err = Win32::RASE::GetLastError) != 6 and die
Win32::RASE::FormatMessage($err);
exit;


The above code goes into a while loop and constantly checks for the internet
connection and prints connected or disconnected as appropriate

Now my question is how do I use this loop in Win32 GUI

suppose I use the above loop as it is control , will NOT be transferred to
any other part of the program...

I know that Win32::GUI::Dialog(); actually goes into an indefinite loop
looking for keypresses etc

How can I integrate the while loop also into theWin32::GUI::Dialog(); loop ?


hope Im clear with my question if NOT I will elaborate

Thanks
