Tk will always be around. Even in it's current limited state, it is a valuable tool, and the Tk::Canvas is still very useful (it's only drawback IMO, is the lack of transparency support....but Tk::Zinc picks up that slack. Tk ( not the Perl port) is moving ahead full speed, and the newest version has all sorts of improvements. The question is whether someone with c savvy will start the porting to the next Tk level, and hang around to do the innumerable bugs that will pop up.

I'm gradually trying to move to Gtk2, even if Tk improves. It has very active developers and seems to be going in the right direction, and the perl code parallels the c code very well, so you can prototype in Perl, and if it's widely adopted, convert it to c with relatively little effort.

So....Perl/Tk is not dead, it's not even dying...it's just growing old with no doctor's care, and being pushed off into the backrooms, while the youngsters( Gtk2, Wx, Tkx, etc) are kicking up their heels and making alot of noise.

I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth Remember How Lucky You Are
