G'day Rolf,

Here's a short example.

#!/usr/bin/env perl

use strict;
use warnings;

package Model;

my $num;

sub num {
    my ($new_num) = @_;
    $num = $new_num if defined $new_num;
    $num = 0 unless defined $num;
    return $num;
}

package View;

use Tk;

sub init {
    my ($num) = @_;
    my $mw = MainWindow::->new(-title => 'Tk MVC Example');
    $mw->geometry('280x80+50+80');
    $mw->Label(-textvariable => \$num)->pack();
    $mw->Button(
        -text => 'Increment', -command => sub { ++$num }
    )->pack();
    $mw->Button(
        -text => 'Exit', -command => sub { exit; }
    )->pack();
    MainLoop;
}

package Controller;

sub run {
    my ($start) = @_;
    View::init(Model::num($start));
}


package main;

Controller::run(@ARGV ? $ARGV[0] : undef);

In production, those packages would be in separate files, so the separation of M, V & C would be more obvious:

# Model.pm
package Model;
...
1;

# View.pm
package View;
...
1;

# Controller.pm
package Controller;
use Model;
use View;
...
1;

# pm_11145356_tk_mvc.pl
...
use Controller;
...

As an interesting artefact of a "short example" with no validation, you can call 'pm_11145356_tk_mvc.pl fred' and see increments: fred, free, fref, etc.

Hi Rolf,

I have a project (Moo + Tk) called Fenix on GitHub, and a project (Moo + Wx) named Sqitch-GUI.

WiP on the devel branch.

I don't know how good or bad they are, I had no feedback on them.

Best regards, Stefan

Take a look here for further inspiration. As far as I remember you where involved a decade or so.
