( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

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?

Any comments about coding style are welcome.

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.
