Why would I make this up? Forking after MainLoop on Win32 doesn't work. The latest version of Tk on Win that is not beta is 800.024, I have tried beta 10 (804.XX) and it dies there too on Win32(2K and XP)... and that is why I said that. Believe me I have tried. Win32 doesn't really fork. It creates a thread I am told. Hence it's odd behavior ( FRUSTRATING BEHAVIOR ) in some modules. I didn't just make it up, and that is why the gent asked the question because it (and fileEvent and lots of other Tk behaviors should work but don't. I would not try to tell stuff works on platforms I cannot test on.

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).
