Well I got some good answers in the perl-gtk IRC channel.

11:59:09 <metaperl> i'm wondering about alternatives to threads for keeping a perl/gtk app responsive - http://perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=928823
12:03:31 <LotR> simple. don't do anything that takes more than a few microseconds :) and if you do, split it up in tiny pieces and stick those in an idle handler.
12:03:34 <LotR> also, see POE

12:46:43 <metaperl> oh sorry
12:46:46 <metaperl> for the repeat
12:46:52 <metaperl> My window was smushed down
12:47:20 <metaperl> lotr - what is an idle handler? is this documented somewhere?
12:49:21 <metaperl> this looks relevant - http://search.cpan.org/~rcaputo/POE-Loop-Gtk-1.305/lib/POE/Loop/Gtk.pm
13:09:56 <squentin> metaperl: Glib::Idle->add(\&my_function)  see http://gtk2-perl.sourceforge.net/doc/pod/Glib/MainLoop.html




The mantra of every experienced web application developer is the same: thou shalt separate business logic from display. Ironically, almost all template engines allow violation of this separation principle, which is the very impetus for HTML template engine development.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
