hi,
I'm trying to construct a GUI for a web client I have. The web client already works, and I can code the GUI, but I can't figure out how to tie them together. For example I have a retry sub which tries to load the webpage again in case of failure. I'd like it to report its status to the GUI window. The code for the GUI and the sub is below:
######## Tk stuff ########
my $mw=new MainWindow;
$mw->minsize(qw(250 150));
$mw->title(" Tk Test 1 ");
my $body=$mw->Frame(-background=>'cyan')->pack(side=>'bottom', -fill=>
+'x');
my $fr1=$body->Frame(-background=>'magenta')->pack(side=>'top', -fill=
+>'x');
$fr1->Label(-text=>'Hi', -background=>'yellow', -foreground=>'red')->p
+ack(-fill=>'y'); # This label is where I want the status line to go t
+o
MainLoop();
######## web client stuff ########
sub retry { # Retry downloading page in case of failure
my $ua=shift;
my $url=shift;
for (my $i=1; $i<101; $i++) {
sleep 5; # Delay
my $request= $ua->request(GET "$url");
return $request if ($request->is_success);
print "Download failed: ", $request->status_line, " Retrying $
+i... \n"; # I'd like all the print statements to go to the label
die ("Download failed: ", $request->status_line) if ($i==101)
+;
}
}
Can anyone give me any ideas?

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).
