LWP invokes the callback inside an `eval`; using `die` will be caught and translated into an "`X-Died`" header in the response object. You will need to arrange for the "Cancel" button to set a flag that the callback then checks. Having the Tk callback handler directly `die` will abort the run through the event loop and may or may not cause problems. `Tk` is a very complex XS module, so it would be best to avoid throwing an exception "around the event loop" directly.

The die can be caught with an eval and will not necessarily always cause perl to exit. (But POSIX has `_exit` if you ever did need to stop a process immediately</extrememly-tangentially-related-aside>). The cake is a lie. The cake is a lie. The cake is a lie.	[reply] [d/l]
