Re^3: Best GUI package for Perl ?

Well the monk asked for advice about the best GUI to use for his situation. If he was a "top-notch programmer" like you, he wouldn't be asking this question here. To compare using Tk to using Windows,Qwerty, and PhP; shows a bit of ignorance on your part(or is it your ego?).

I suppose we should tell the OP to dump Perl too, since Python is "more advanced" in it's design? Perl still stands strong, because it makes things easy to do, as does Tk.

....Tk is solid, active, and moving forward day by day, just like Perl.

How many times have you seen this same question asked before, only to see a post a few weeks later, saying the poster decided to go with Tk because it was easier and faster to do?

To compare using Tk to using Windows,Qwerty, and PhP; shows a bit of ignorance on your part. It would, but I didn't compare Tk to Win, QWE, PHP. I thought the reasoning was flawed (quoted text, not thread, provides context) and mentioned some things that are used for the same reason. (Which by the way does not mean I do not think Tk sucks.)

If Perl is the inferior technique, yes, I do think we should advice against using it. But it is not, and Python has syntax that stands in the way of trying out their nice design (for me, at least). Besides, I stress again that I did not say the suggestion of using Tk was a bad one. Doing something because other people do it, isn't a good reason (even though most humans do mindlessly follow the flock). ....Tk is solid, active, and moving forward day by day, just like Perl.
