Monks into embedded development may be interested by an article on linuxdevices stating that Perl/Tk has been ported to Qt, Qt/Embedded. Perhaps worth a read to those interested in this side of things.

    While I am happy to see this, I'll explain my problems trying to get it to run.

    I use the latest gcc-4.02. So I go to install the latest qt-x11-opensource-src-4.0.1. It won't compile. So I fall back to my backup gcc-3.4.4. Qt now compiles, but takes 1.5 hours to compile on my 2Ghz desktop.

    WoW.. I'm happy to have the newest Qt working.....it looks good. So I go to install the Perl port mentioned above, and it fails. Then I read it needs the older Qt3. I gave up there.

    Tk compiles and installs in a matter of minutes, I will be hard pressed to recommend something that needs 1.5 hours to compile, just to use something that Tk already does.

    Sort of an UPDATE

    Hi, to set everything straight, it was announced on comp.lang.perl.tk today ( Dec 19, 2005 ), that this new Perl Pq module has been fixed to compile with gcc 4.0.2 and the newest Qt4 libs. The latest version is at pq-0.7.1
