in thread Which is better: ActiveState or Strawberry Perl?

I still don't know what was wrong with this, but I will voluntarily strike it.
Something about it tweaked some "go buttons". Sorry.
I am not guessing.
I know for sure that the Tk library functions using Active State appear like native Windows applications in terms of the look and feel. There are some complicated "yeah but's", but basically this is true.

I have not used Strawberry Tk on Windows, but I think that I mentioned that as a caveat.

From previous post re GUI: I have never used Strawberry for a serious project before so I cannot comment on how well or not well that they have done on that part. What do you think that meant? To me that means what it says...I don't know!

I will add that the Active State PerlApp program does have heuristics to find and force needed Tk modules into the .exe that aren't explicitly specified via "use" statements. This is not a "guess".

    Yes you are. How is seeing-pleasing-graphics proof that ActiveState did anything? Like I already said, they did nothing to improve the looks of Tk.
