Re: How the Perl/TK scroll box like MSDOS rolling display data?

[zentara]

Try this alternative:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use Tk;
use strict;

my $host = 'localhost';

my $mw = MainWindow->new;

my $t = $mw->Scrolled("Text",-width => 80, 
      -height => 25, -wrap => 'none')->pack(-expand => 1);

my $button = $mw->Button(-text => 'Execute',
            -command => \&ping_test)->pack;

MainLoop();


sub ping_test {

#print "Open Filehandle\n" or die "can't fork: $!";

open (PINGTEST, "ping $host 2>&1 |") or die "can't fork: $!";
$mw->fileevent(\*PINGTEST, 'readable', [\&fill_text_widget,$t]);

$button->configure(-text => 'Stop',
        -command => sub{

              print "Close Filehandle\n";
              close PINGTEST;# or die "bad ping: $! S?";
              print "All done!\n";
        });
}


sub fill_text_widget {
          my($widget) = @_;
          $_ = <PINGTEST>;
      $widget->insert('end', $_);
          $widget->yview('end');
}
