Hello All ,
I have a Perl/Tk application. If the process is idle for say 10
minutes (i.e, someone does not do anything to the application), the
application should perform some action.
Pls suggest how can this be done ?

Best Regards
Nishant Sharma

By setting an alarm with the alarm function (perldoc -f
alarm). Remember to reset the alarm at the start of the event handler
for each event.

perldoc -q timeout

The slow event in this case is the user input.
