Your comment clicked. I see where a Timer will be the way to check my
flags.
I set mine up to run in:

sub OnInit {
#
# Wx::Timers
#
    # Start processing job queue
    $gl_media_control_available=0;
    $gl_i_Main_Menu->{queue_timer} = Wx::Timer->new( $gl_i_Main_Menu, -1 );
    $gl_i_Main_Menu->{queue_timer} -> Start( 10000 );  # Evrey 10 secs 
normally, (every sec during an exam.)
    Wx::Event::EVT_TIMER( $gl_i_Main_Menu, 
$gl_i_Main_Menu->{queue_timer}, \&i_Mage::on_timer_queue_processing );

    # Start checking for network connectivitiy every 10 secs.
    $gl_i_Main_Menu->{ping_timer} = Wx::Timer->new( $gl_i_Main_Menu, -1  );
    $gl_i_Main_Menu->{ping_timer} -> Start( 10000 );
    Wx::Event::EVT_TIMER( $gl_i_Main_Menu, 
$gl_i_Main_Menu->{ping_timer}, 
\&i_Mage::on_timer_set_internet_connectivity );

        # Connect to Network.
    nw();

    # Start checking hardware every 10 mins (battery life and disk 
utilisation).
    $gl_i_Main_Menu->{hw_timer} = Wx::Timer->new( $gl_i_Main_Menu, -1  );
    $gl_i_Main_Menu->{hw_timer} -> Start( 600000 ); #
    Wx::Event::EVT_TIMER( $gl_i_Main_Menu, $gl_i_Main_Menu->{hw_timer}, 
\&i_Mage::on_timer_check_hardware_slow );
    i_Mage::on_timer_check_hardware_slow();

        return 1;
}

Good luck,

Steve.
