in reply to Prima vs. Tk

I was also intrigued enough by the discussion here to take a look at Prima. However, after trying to compile it and failing, one of the developers on their mailing list was kind enough to let me know that it doesn't yet compile under Perl 5.8.0.

Oops.

It might be nice if they mentioned that somewhere on their website..

    Strange.

    I first read about Prima here about 15 minutes ago. Intrigued, I downloaded Prima-1.10-MSWin32-580.zip , unzipped it, ran the script ms_install.pl, changed directory to C:\Perl\site\lib\examples and tried several examples ... all in less time than it took me to write this up.

    I have perl, v5.8.0 Binary build 806 on my machine.

    True, I did not try to get the sources and compile Prima, so I cannont vouch for that :-).

    Not true. I built from source here on 5.8.0.
