Esteemed Monks,

I have a nice "little" (1200 line) Perl/Tk application which was written in procedural style, and whilst it uses 'strict' it is getting out of hand.

The problem is global variables! There are just too many of them and the whole thing has become uncomfortable to work with.

So ... I think I need to move to an OO style with Tk like I have for everything else, but two years ago when I started this application I wasn't using OO at all. I can see how lots of it can be done and how I can eliminate the dreaded scourge of global variables, but I wonder if anyone has seen a good book that covers OOPerl and Tk, or if they know of a tutorial, or even some well written OOPerl/Tk code that I could peruse.

TIA
