Perl, GTK, Network

[Mark Lehrer <mark knm org>]

What is the best strategy for handling the network in Gtk? Is there a
way to attach some kind of gtk signal handler to incoming network
traffic, or is it better to use some kind of threading?

I basically need to have the Gtk part send outgoing messages, but I
also need to respond to incoming messages and update a label to show
the latest incoming message... fairly basic I guess.

Thanks,
Mark
