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.)
