in thread Perl TK books

What is true and isn't arguable at all, is that there are a lot of people who have had the same problems I have had. Maybe it worked for YOU. But that doesn't change that a lot of people have had these problems. It has a history of complaints of these problems.

If your claim is, those problems were ___ and have been fixed, lets here the details and if they are convincing, I'll give it another chance. But failing some such convincing argument, I'd rather just point to it's history of bad programming and warn people away, towards things like Tk that have a history of working well on a bizillion platforms.

    I have been following wxPerl development for a very very very long time and you're statement that wxPerl has a history of not living up to it's cross-platform claims, in fact it often won't even compile on common platforms is a bold faced lie. The overwhelming majority of complation problems reported with stable releases have always been due to a lack of RTFM.
