dawook has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Im trying to determine if the Advertise and Component methods have been deprecated, and if so what is used in place of them when creating a composite widget module. I read on a news group that these were no longer used, but it did not go into detail as to what replaced it. Generally these are used in the Populate method call for the class module (which is where I am at the moment). Any help will be great thanks (PS please email me as I sometimes forget to check here as often as I should ;-) ) steve.moody@philips.com Thanks!

    A recent message on comp.lang.perl.tk from Steve Lidie says "No!", as in "they are still there and sometimes they are what you need to use". Here is the thread in google...
