You need to use a pipe-open to read the output of your helper program from a child process. How do i keep my GUI updating while doing a long file read? http://live.gnome.org/GTK2-Perl/FrequentlyAskedQuestions#head-20b1c1d3a92f0c61515cb88d15e06b686eba6cbc -- It's all very complicated and would take a scientist to explain it. -- MST3K ___ gtk-perl-list mailing list gtk-perl-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-perl-list
re: Displaying console output
You can put this line throughout your code or in a loop to update pending events (This is also good to use for updating progress bars.) # Run the main loop as long as events are pending Gtk2-main_iteration while ( Gtk2-events_pending ); You can also use POE (Perl Object Environment) which allows your program to multitask.
