Extra screen space is recommended. =cut package bin::wxcat; use Wx (); use base 'Wx::App'; use IO::Handle; use Getopt::Helpful; use Class::Accessor::Classy; ri 'frame'; ro 'handle'; ri 'closing'; no Class::Accessor::Classy; sub main { my (@args) = @_; my %opt = ( size => '400x200', scrollbar => 1, ); my $hopt = Getopt::Helpful->new( usage => 'foo | CALLER', ['size=s' => \$opt{size}, '400x200', 'WxH size'], # ['scrollbar!', => \$opt{scrollbar}, '', 'use scrollbar'], ['version' => sub { require bin::wxcat; print __PACKAGE__->VERSION, "\n"; exit}, '','print package version and exit'], '+help', ); $hopt->Get_from(\@args); # TODO open file from @args my $fh = IO::Handle->new; $fh->fdopen(fileno(STDIN), "r"); $fh->autoflush; my $app = __PACKAGE__->new(handle => $fh, %opt); $app->MainLoop; } sub new { my $package = shift; my $self = $package->SUPER::new; $self->setup(@_); # ugh return($self); } # this is useless to me because I can't pass arguments to OnInit sub OnInit {1}; sub setup { my $self = shift; my %args = @_; $self->{handle} = delete($args{handle}); my $frame = $self->set_frame(wxcat::Frame->new(%args)); $frame->Show(1); my $fh = $self->handle or die "no handle!"; my $text_ctrl = $self->frame->text_ctrl; { my $is = {in => 0}; my $closing = 0; Wx::Event::EVT_IDLE($self, sub { my ($obj, $evt) = @_; # Im in ur idle return if($is->{in}); local $is->{in} = 1; # and the get-out (TODO a timer?) return if($closing); #warn "idle\n"; # now a soft read for the slow pipes $fh->blocking(0); if(! $fh->eof) { $fh->blocking(1); my $line = readline($fh); $text_ctrl->AppendText($line); # warn $line; } else { unless($fh->error) { warn "closing"; $closing = 1; for(1..5) {sleep(1); Wx::Yield();} $self->frame->Close; $self->ExitMainLoop; } # warn "eof (", $fh->error, ")"; $fh->clearerr; Wx::Yield(); use Time::HiRes; Time::HiRes::sleep(0.1); } #Wx::WakeUpIdle(); # XXX wx 2.8.7 differences! $evt->RequestMore; }); } } =head1 AUTHOR Eric Wilhelm @ http://scratchcomputing.com/ =head1 BUGS If you found this module on CPAN, please report any bugs or feature requests through the web interface at L.
