I dont have any great documentation of perl/Tk with me. So I tried from my own so far and got lot of frustration.

You are not alone. I wrote some tiny Perl/Tk based tools, but the lack of a USABLE documentation for Perl/Tk drove me mad each time. I used Google a lot, and "Mastering Perl/Tk" (dated 2002), and of course perlmonks, but I found only fragments and a lot of cargo cult. The original TCL/Tk documentation may be helpful for someone who has worked with TCL, but it was not really useful for me, because I still fail to understand the deeper magics in Perl/Tk.

It would be really great if some people could rework the Perl/Tk documentation in a way that it can be used stand-alone. The partly auto-generated documentation is not really helpful. For something complex as Perl/Tk, a really good documentation is needed. The DBI documentation is an example for how the Perl/Tk documentation should look like.

I know that some people think that Perl/Tk is dead, and GTK or some other toolkit should be used. But I think the main reason for that is the lack of good documentation.
