Hello,

I have a noobee question, I was unable to find a more appropriate list
to post this, please redirect me is this question is inappropriate.

I am not sure how to get out of a running thread from a Gtk2 callback,
here is the code:
#############################
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use Gtk2 '-init';
use strict;
use threads;

my $keep_running =3D 1;
my $thr1 =3D threads->new(sub {

=09while ($keep_running =3D=3D 1 ) {
=09=09print "Hello\n";
=09=09sleep(1);
=09}
});

sub button_callback {

=09$keep_running =3D 0;
=09t$thr1->join;
=09Gtk2->main_quit;
}

my $window =3D Gtk2::Window->new;
my $button =3D Gtk2::Button->new ("Quit!");
$button->signal_connect (clicked =3D> \&button_callback);

$window->add($button);
$window-> show_all;
Gtk2->main;
#############################

Is there a way to gracefully stop the thread from a callback?

Thanks, Javier Godinez
