I am just including a very very simplified code which is just one perl file only. Please change the repeat frequency to test it. The gui would show better performance if the repeat frequency is increased to 1sec , currently it is 1ms only.
My requirement is :
1. what is the reason for the gui to get hung when we are trying to change some 100 rows on it every 1 ms . Can not perl tk handle this ? is this a limitation ?
2. is their any other mechanism to make it work, provided i will repeat it every 1 ms and would try to change 100 rows of it randomly.
use Tk;
use Tk::HList;

'HList',

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>

<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>

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).
