Comments on Using DBUS and GTK in one perl program

Using DBUS and GTK in one perl program

+5
−0

Perl is by far the language I have the most experience with, and I have (big) parts of the functionality I want in the new program in existing programs. So I'm looking for a way to do this in perl, but I know other languages so a good guide to do what I want in another language might be usable.

Both the DBUS and GTK tutorials I have found say to "end" (there's some cleanup to do afterwards, but that's quite irrelevant) your program with calling their main loop, for DBUS:

my $reactor=Net::DBus::Reactor->main();
# Now start the reactor loop. This will keep this program alive until it is
# killed by a signal.
$reactor->run();

and for GTK:

# Creating and run the Gtk3::Application
my $app = Gtk3::Application->new('app.id', 'flags-none');
...
$app->run(\@ARGV);

But what to do if I want to do both in one program?

  • Is there an obvious way to do it?
  • Do better (more recent?) tutorials exist?
  • In searching for how to do this I came across something called GDLIB, is that the solution, and do any good tutorial on using that exist?

I would just use Gio, then there is just the Glib mainloop.
