Re: Perl Tk

    I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to say or ask. Perl/Tk is indeed a nice GUI for Perl. So is Gtk-Perl, and Wx-Perl. Somehow, Perl/Qt never really materialized. Perl/Tk isn't maintained frequently, but it manages to stay somewhat current, and there are LOTS of 3rd-party Tk modules out. I think Gtk-Perl and Wx-Perl are actively maintained. I only wish Perl/Tk were more actively updated and more modernized.

      Tk is actively maintained within Tcl/Tk, so using Tk directly from perl makes you always some months (or years) behind

    Perl/Tk will always be available, like an old grey workhorse. It may not have all the latest and greatest features, but it will be there, and it will work ( maybe with patches :-) ).

    I kindof look at it like bicycles. Perl/Tk is that old single-speed coaster bike with puncture-proof tires, that sits in the garage, while you have more fun on that 21-speed mountain bike. But.....when that 21 speed derailer malfunctions and refuses to work right, you can always count on the old reliable single speed.

    I always advice that Tcl::Tk is much better approach for Tk programming from Perl.
    There are way many points, which I do not enlist right here
