momo33 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello Monks,

I try to get a Tkx application working with a socket. In Tk you can do this with

my $server = IO::Socket::INET->new( LocalPort => 7777, Type => SOCK_STREAM, Reuse => 1, Listen => 10 ); $mw->Tkx::fileevent($server, 'readable', sub { new_connection($server) + });
In Tkx fileevent would work like this
my $fh = Tkx::open("| @cmds <$null 2>\@1"); Tkx::fconfigure($fh, -blocking => 0); Tkx::fileevent($fh, readable => [\&readdata, $fh]);
A more complete application is being discussed in http://perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=893831

does anyone know how to get a working socket system with Tkx?

Thanks

    I don't know neither Tk nor Tkx, but as a socket is a filehandle, you might be able to just give your socket handle to fileevent() in Tkx as well. What happened when you tried that?

      can not find channel named "IO::Socket::INET=GLOB(0x9184ed0)" at ./sps +how_simple.pl line 28. line 28: Tkx::fileevent( $server, readable => [\&new_connection, \$ser +ver] );
      Yes, I made the fileevent line Tkx-style.

        This may contain all information but my Perl and Tcl knowledge is insufficient to turn the info into working code. Sorry
