Need Help??

in thread Tk - is MainWindow robust?

how about still use sockets (or pipes), but instead of establishing a communication between different programs on different boxes uning local displays, communicate between different programs on a single local box using remote displays? I mean, if your current version is somewhat like

box1:select(@handles_from_boxes) and do_logic()
box2:tk-interface.pl: connect to box1, create windows and buttons,

then I propose to do this instead:

box1: for ( @boxes) {
     $ENV{DISPLAY} = $_;
     system "tk-interface.pl";
}
select(@handles_from_boxes) and do_logic()

Best of all, I get to keep using the socket code I wrote that I'm so proud of. :)

Don, thanks for your comments too. Yes, I am somewhat nervous about how complex the system is becoming! I can't say too much about the application, but this isn't something that I would know how to solve with a web-browser.

Cheers, Matt
