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'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.
