The offical Perl/Tk website is back online at www.perltk.org with a new look.

It's now more community-oriented, and already contains a lot of useful Perl/Tk-related information from articles to scripts, tips and other links. Registration is free and required to post new content. Feel free to browse, register and share your experiences.

Please bear in mind that the site is still under active development, so you might experience some hiccups. Feedback is very much appreciated.

Thanks and enjoy,
--Ala

PS. I hope this is the correct place to post this.

    I'd like to see a searchable copy of the mailing list archives (in case I missed it, it could be linked more prominently).

    I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6.x and 5.8.x -- I take requests (README).

    Good! This one will last better than batkins' Tk Wiki which was spammed to smithereens.

    I'm curious about which engine you are using to drive the website, as you've got the authentication working sensibly, as I have a need to set up a couple of protected-wiki type websites.

      That's precisely why I didn't go with a regular wiki. I still receive some spam inquiries via www.perltk.org every now and then, but it's manageable.

      I'm using Mambo. Recently the core developers of Mambo branched off to create Joomla. Mambo/Joomla is really nice for people who don't want to spend a lot of time tweaking the website. It satisfied my needs. Many people complain that it does too many things. It really depends on how much experience YOU have, and how much time you can afford to spend tweaking the look of your website.

      Another, much simpler and IMHO much more elegant, CMS is Drupal. If I had to do things over, I would go with Drupal.

        I've been checking the site off and on, and have been smiling each time there's been a facelift -- seems like you've been having some fun with the site. Sorry for not taking the time to post anything, yet. I've been meaning to, but continually get sidetracked. I've been thinking of a series of mini-articles that focus on FAQs that I see posted over and over again.

        I know that it's straying a bit off topic, but could you give a few more specifics regarding your comparison of Mambo and Drupal? I remember being impressed initially by Mambo when you first set up the site. Now that you've used it a while, what don't you like about it?

        Regards,
