My suggestion is to try perlmonks.org and do a super
search for "Tk threads"; its been discussed and
coded there numerous times. Here's the most recent:

http://www.perlmonks.com/?node_id=522177

FWIW: you might take a look at Thread::Apartment to see
if you can wrap Wx in its own thread, and make it
look like you're passing objects around. I'd started to
create a Tk::Threaded for Perl/Tk based on that, but
it needs inter-thread tie()'d operations, which aren't available
via the current ithreads environment.
