Using DBUS and GTK in one perl program
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?
