Re^3: CRPGs, Perl, Gtk2, and my vision

There are also documented GUI toolkits around. Tk is one, but it is probably too weak for what you're planning.

Perlqt and Wxperl are others - while themselves not perfectly documented, they're just wrappers of popular C++ frameworks - Qt and WxWindows, both of which have terrific documentation.

My personal experience with WxPerl was quite good.

I wish I could say the same about WxPerl. I've had a great deal of difficulty getting it to compile. I've never had it compile and run perfectly (I've only tried on two different systems, though), but when I had it partially working on one system, the results were beautiful. I say "partially" because it passed most tests. I just learned to not use any functions in the part that did not pass. It is is nice toolkit, but I'm concerned that it would be a huge stumbling block for many inexperienced people. Cheers, Ovid New address of my CGI Course.	[reply]

Yes, I was just introduced to WxPerl yesterday. After comparing screenshots and running the sample programs, I think WxPerl has a better look and feel to it, and I think I'd be able to use it faster. _____________________________________________________ Jeff `japhy` Pinyan, P.L., P.M., P.O.D, X.S.: Perl, regex, and `perl` hacker How can we ever be the sold short or the cheated, we who for every service have long ago been overpaid? ~~ Meister Eckhart	[reply]
