given the way that perl scoping works and the fact that you can pass an
arbitrary scalar to the callbacks, i don't understand you mean.

map-event is sent when the widget is mapped, and unmap-event is sent
when the widget is unmapped -- or basically when it's taken off the
screen.


you can store the id returned from Glib::Timeout->add in the map-event
handler to pass to Glib::Source->remove in the unmap-event handler.


can you give any more context on what it is that you're trying to do?
