Re: Activestate perlapp creates exe that hangs

Someone has had this exact problem in a recent PerlMonks thread.  I  
don't have a URL offhand.

The last I read on the subject, the user was forcing POE::Loop::Select  
usage, which bypasses the Tk event loop.  They were also including Tk  
widgets on the perlapp command line, and someone suggested that use- 
ing them in the code was a better option.

I haven't followed the thread since then, so I don't know whether that  
resolved it.
