Re^4: How can I install Tk perl module in 32-bit operating system and Windows7 ?

In my understanding, the direct access method of Tcl::pTk appears to be functionally similar to Tkx. The goal of Tkx was to just put a thin abstraction layer and allow effectively direct access to Tk from perl. Not having enough experience with Tk either directly or with Perl::Tk, I can't speak to how effective it is.

... functionally similar ... Its functionally superior but the namespace/syntax changes/inconsistencies/kludges will drive you mad I've written many hundreds small less than 100 lines Tk programs, and about 10-20 Tkx ones ... Tkx hurts so much its not funny In theory it sounds great, but whatever edge Tk.pm gives you in terms of perlishness/memorability/quickness Tkx just rips it out with the inconsistency Tcl::pTk makes it bearable but needs more than Tcl::tkkit I stick with Tk If I absolutely must have the new Tcl/Tk widgets (which is never) I'll go for Tcl::pTk, but otherwise stick with Tk.pm Tkx -- never again voluntarily (only for massive cash) Re: TclTk interface with Perl code, is it possible?

I agree that Tkx produces a mess-code, even more of a mess - compared to perl/Tk. To avoid this mess - I code GUI entirely in TCL and connect it to perl - with having perl/tk syntax with Tcl::Tk - for me this is an ideal balance. I code this way 10+ years already and just happy :):)	[reply]
