wxThread is not yet wrapped; I didn't wrap it because if you want threads, you should 
use Perl threads, not wx ones; the only caveat is that you can only call the GUI 
functions from the main thread
( the one in wich Wx::App was created ); other threads can communicate with the main 
thread using Wx::EvtHandler::AddPendingEvent();

ok,
i'll tried it with fork()... (looks like active perl doesn't support
Thread.pm)
the problem is that i have a process that needs some time, if i just call it
the gui freezes while the process works...
how can i prevent this? thought it would be a solution to make a thread and
wait for it, but this freezes the window too (right? didn't test it)

so, can someone give me an example how to solve this problem?
would be great

thanks and by
marco

Yeah, so you have to wrap it up a bit. Or use POE.
