Hello

You can use threads or eventually setup your loops in a POE session. 
Depending on what you feel confortable with.

There is a sample of threads and Wx on cpan (Wx::App::Mastermind) that 
Mattia wrote and there are samples of POE and Wx usage on cpan aswell 
written by Mike (in POE::Loop::Wx).

Good luck and I kindly remind that the wxPerl IRC channel is still alive 
(on irc.perl.org) and that it's another place to get help and discuss 
wxPerl.

Thank you.
