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

Hello, I am creating an updater for my Tk program on Windows. It simply needs to download an installer and run it. The download part is done by the following subrutine which also updates a progress bar. Is there an easy way to break out of the download (possibily without to rewrite the whole program using threads etc.).

sub doUpdate{ print "doUpdate\n"; my $url = 'https://www.domain.com/download/updater.exe'; my $file = $Path . '/updater.exe'; print "Saving updater in $file\n"; my $ttlDown = 0; my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new; open my $out, '>:raw', $file or die "$file: $!"; my $resp = $ua->get( $url, ':content_cb' => sub { my ($data, $response) = @_; my $size = $response->content_length; $ttlDown += length $data; $percent_done= $ttlDown * 100.0 / $size; print {$out} $data; $mw->update(); }, ); close $out; print "Out\n"; }

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>

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.
