Having read this (talking about fall 1999), I wonder if it is still developed. Everything went worng, just as foreseen.	[reply]

Looking at the project's commit history, it is clearly under active development, and has been for quite some time.	[reply]

Could you supply a link, maybe even a small sample application? I've written several scripts using both Tk and GTK+, but I'm not familiar with Prima at all. `--rjray`	[reply]

A quick search on Google produced this link http://www.prima.eu.org/conf/html/PRIMA.html HTH	[reply]

DISCLAIMER: I have never used Prima. I could be talking out of my butt here. But, having said that, from what I saw of the screenshots and documentation, Prima does not offer anything that Tk does not, but Tk offers something critical that Prima may not- a thoroughly tested toolkit with a strong userbase. The fact that the general response was "huh?" when asked about Prima is indicative of the lack of perl community support for Prima. Tk on the otherhand has an active newsgroup, active development, and a host of Helpful Perl Monks Experts^tm on hand to answer questions. Plus, in my opinion, it is the best toolkit out there. The canvas widget alone is worth the price of admission. It has a powerful event model, good image support, and decent control over look and feel. It has places where it needs improvement, but also people willing to make those improvements. -pete "I am Jack's utter lack of disbelief"	[reply]

I tried out Prima about 6months ago, and thought "WOW" it's a VisualBasic-style IDE for perl. I still have it going, to play with when I'm bored. I think it is just what perl needs, a quick way to slap together a graphical interface. There sure were alot of lines of code just to make a little program like something to display a graphic and some related text.	[reply]
