11:59:09 <metaperl> i'm wondering about alternatives to threads for keeping a perl/gtk app responsive - http://perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=928823 12:03:31 <LotR> simple. don't do anything that takes more than a few microseconds :) and if you do, split it up in tiny pieces and stick those in an idle handler. 12:03:34 <LotR> also, see POE 12:32:49 xiong ~xiong@c-69-181-68-53.hsd1.ca.comcast.net has quit IRC: Ping timeout: 600 seconds 12:41:57 xiong ~xiong@c-69-181-68-53.hsd1.ca.comcast.net has joined #gtk-perl 12:46:31 <metaperl> i'm wondering about alternatives to threads for keeping a perl/gtk app responsive - http://perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=928823 12:46:43 <metaperl> oh sorry 12:46:46 <metaperl> for the repeat 12:46:52 <metaperl> My window was smushed down 12:47:20 <metaperl> lotr - what is an idle handler? is this documented somewhere? 12:49:21 <metaperl> this looks relevant - http://search.cpan.org/~rcaputo/POE-Loop-Gtk-1.305/lib/POE/Loop/Gtk.pm 13:09:56 <squentin> metaperl: Glib::Idle->add(\&my_function) see http://gtk2-perl.sourceforge.net/doc/pod/Glib/MainLoop.html The mantra of every experienced web application developer is the same: thou shalt separate business logic from display.
