Re: Most portable way of GUI programming?

I would suggest you to take a look at the GIMP Toolkit, too. It is available for quite some platforms (any un*x flavour, win32 and beos for a start) and IMHO looks much better than that Tk -- especially it is themeable to make it look like you want it :-)

While Perl works on Windows, and GTK+ works on Windows, getting Perl and GTK+ to work on Windows is quite hard. I was searching for information on it a few days ago and everything I found indicated that no one had gotten it to work yet. Most of the messages I found were more than a year old, though, so things might be better now. If you want to use GTK+, the best solution might be to suck it in and use C for the GUI and Perl for the backend.	[reply]
