I searched on google, and here, no ansewers yet.

I want to build a simple gui with perl backend, the best example to describe why, I want to make a perl+Tk app to run through directories and list movies, and match the titles to pictures of them.

I need to be able to display the images, can I do this with perl and Tk? I have been using perl for awhile, but have never used Tk.

Anyone know of any tutorials or sample code to display an image with perl / Tk , or will I need some other things in addition?

I have multiple uses for this, ie: mp3's, MAME Games, movies, ect ect. And would like to get it done. ( I have built the untimate set-top box and neet to make the interface for browsing titles on the screen. )

Please help if you can ;)
