Re: Term::Cap or Perl::GTK or Perl::Tk

Tk is very good, imho. It has a widget demo, just type "widget" at a command line and you'll be learning the module in no time (it shows examples of the widgets in action with convenient source display). Nancy Walsh's O'Reilly book is also pretty good.

perl.com has recently run a couple of Gtk tutorials, if memory serves.

Widget (n) - base class for mega-widgets within a frame it would appear that I have some of the components installed that you think I might (the above from `whatis widget`), and I have a manpage. As I recall (from the Coriolis book) Perl::Tk is an interface to tcl. The source on the widget manpage is written, i gather tcl, but it doesnt mention. Is it possible that I dont have a working tcl installed or something? I would like to avoid Gtk+ because of its, er, crummy implementation in programs like Gnapster. I was hoping to start tinkering with it before buying the book, but I guess thats the last perl book I dont have except maybe the mod_perl book. sigh. do you know of any online Perl::Tk tutorials or of any programs that use it that I could hack around in? -- i am not cool enough to have a signature.

I'm not sure about Tcl. I don't think you need that for Tk800. If you do a "install Tk" from the CPAN shell, you should be up and running (or similarly the Tk PPM from ActiveState) without anything additional. The Tk800 module includes the widget demo script.	[reply]
