I'm delving back into perl for work and I wanted to implement some kind of GUI with my code.
Apparently Perl/TK is dead now and people are suggesting Tkx.
Now I'm stuck with a Mastering Perl TK book that I suppose is no longer relevant.

What are the advantages to using Tkx over Perl Tk?

Should I stick with Perl TK despite it being dead or should I take the plunge into Tkx?

If Tkx is the route to go, does anyone have any books they would suggest? I prefer books to reading online.

I guess I'm looking for pros and cons between the two and if its worth it to consider the new option.
Thanks for any help.
