    I believe that Perl/Tk comes with a program called widget, which shows examples of the Perl/Tk widgets and how to use them.

      This may be faintly heretical but a good book on Tcl/Tk might help with the Tk side of things. I learned Tcl/Tk first (all the time wishing the language wasn't so weird) and was overjoyed to discover Perl/Tk.

      Usual advice (as given to me by lots of nice people recently) applies: find a project and apply Perl/Tk to it. Mine was a program to display current weather conditions given local meteorogical information, it's still being used :-) although I'm not especially proud of some bits of the code.

    Advanced Perl Programming from OReilly has an intro to Tk. I've skimmed the material and it seems well written. I haven't had the chance to play with it yet, though. Good luck. Maybe you could post a tutorial once you've become a Tk-Master.
