in reply to Perl GUI (2013)

In the past year I've become a fan of Tkx. While the Tk module builds on increasingly out of date code that was ripped from the belly of tcl, Tkx actually uses tcl under the hood, buying you easy cross platform support that pays attention to the current OS's styling, if you use the modern 'ttk' widgets. It's also as up to date as your tcl install.

I've used it with OSX/perlbrew, Linux, Windows/Activestate & Windows/Strawberry.

    Please allow me to vent! Tkx may be an excelent choice for person who already knows tcl. It is probably a good choice for a person's first perl graphichs module. However, for those of us who learned Tk without any knowledge or interest in tcl, the loss of Tk from ActiveState is a disaster. All existing applications are broken. There are no guidlines for converting them to Tkx. (To be fair, this could be cited as a good reason to avoid Perl/Tk for new applications.)
