What do you mean by integrate? In general, when you add a GUI to any program, it changes the way it works quite a bit. (As you are now responding to the user, instead of just running from top to bottom). If all you need is a mini interface with a button to run the program, then you just put the entire program in a sub, and call that from a buttons callback. What does the program do (or should it do, with an interface, that it didnt do before.. ?) C.	[reply]

Have you tried typing `"perl/tk"` into Google or Yahoo! or any other search engine? If you're using the same Internet as I do, you should be able to come up with enough info to get started and post more specific questions.	[reply] [d/l]

A good start is to type "widget" at the command line and go thru the Tk widgets demo. At least you will get an idea of what is available to use. I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth. flash japh	[reply]
