Perl/TK intro

kprasanna_79 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Greetings Monks,

I am planning to start up with perl/TK, can any one give some intro abt TK. I am just starting to learn TK. I know perl very well. Can anybody give some links or intro as helping hands.

Also please let me know what are all the things i need to install for Tk. I am working on linux and windows 2000. Give me links where i can get all those stuffs.

Hi, You could start by reading TK Tutorial by hiseldl, from the Tutorial section of this site. TK modules can be downloaded from cpan. Hope this helps. Martin	[reply]

Since you know Perl already, it will be easy for you. If you do "perldoc Tk" you will get a list of docs. "perldoc Tk::UserGuide" is a pretty good start. Then when you want example code for something, go to http://groups.google.com and search for it, like: "Tk text " or "Tk progressbar" etc. I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth. flash japh	[reply]

As you have perl/Tk installed, type "widget" to the command prompt. This has a fairly comprehensive set of widget demos, complete with a "see code" button. There was a Tk wiki I contributed towards, but this seems to have been blasted by spammers :(. I tried to contact batkins with a view to restoring from backup, but to no avail. -- Oh Lord, won’t you burn me a Knoppix CD ? My friends all rate Windows, I must disagree.

BTW: Tk is already included into Activestate-Perl which you might use for Windows. Most Linux distributions I know let you install Tk by operating system means, e.g. rpm or apt. If you compiled your own perl, you will probably have to install Tk from CPAN. Best regards, perl -e "s>>F>e=>y)\martinF)stronat)=>print,print v8.8.8.32.11.32"	[reply]
