Usage

  use Tk;
  use POE;
  # Rest of your program here.

sub skip_tests {
return "Tk needs a DISPLAY (set one today, okay?)" unless (
(defined $ENV{DISPLAY} and length $ENV{DISPLAY}) or $^O eq "MSWin32"
);
my $test_name = shift;
if ($test_name eq "k_signals_rerun" and $^O eq "MSWin32") {
return "This test crashes Perl when run with Tk on $^O";
}
return "Tk tests require the Tk module" if do { eval "use Tk"; $@ };
my $m = eval { Tk::MainWindow->new() };
if ($@) {
my $why = $@;
$why =~ s/ at .*//;
return "Tk couldn't be initialized: $why";
}
return; }

Overview

POE::Loop::Tk replaces POE's internal event loop with the Tk module. This allows programs to use both POE and Tk at the same time.

POE::Loop::Tk implements the interface documented in POE::Loop. Therefore it has no documentation of its own. Please see POE::Loop for more details.

POE::Loop::Tk is one of two versions of the Tk event loop bridge. The other, POE::Loop::TkActiveState accommodates behavior differences in ActiveState's build of Tk. Both versions share common code in POE::Loop::TkCommon. POE::Loop::Tk dynamically selects the appropriate event loop bridge based on the runtime environment.
