[wxperl-users] How to poll/work from a GUI app? eg: monitor select() despite MainLoop() blocking (newbie)

[Chris D. <cn...@ge...>]

Hi,

Sorry if this is a dumb Q.

Is there a "DoWin32Events()" equivalent call in wxPerl?

I'm porting from Win32::GUI a socket server app managing unlimited
simultaneous connections (and other things) by using select() in a
loop - but the wxPerl "$app->MainLoop();" command seems to block...
how do I code so that *I* can do what I want, and when I'm good and
ready, give the GUI code it's opportunity to do any outstanding work?

I did spend 2+ hours looking for this answer in the docs and google,
with no luck - seems that everyone else writes event-only code out
there?

Kind Regards,
Chris Drake
