I had to change my timer to print to STDERR: my $w = AE::timer (0,1,sub {print STDERR "${esc}s${esc}1H$t s ${esc}u";++$t}); My earlier patches seem to work with T::RL::G, too. Without the patches, the only way to get my script to work is to "use Tk;". If I load Event prior to AnyEvent being used, the timer doesn't get called. With the patches, it works. As for the discussion regarding AE's author's interactions with others, could we drop the cc on this perlbug for that, please? Thanks. (I'm still working on time to write some tests, but if Joel can show me that using multiple loops is transparent, then everything may become moot.)
