batkins has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Does anyone know of a replacement for Tk::HList? I want something that looks good on UNIX and Win32 and works with Tk. I'm curious to know if such a thing exists. Any ideas?

    Use Tk::Tree. It is derived from Tk::Hlist. I used HList for a project, but within a week, I quickly swicthed to Tk::Tree. Tk::Tree is visually more pleasant, and easier for you to manipulate data. I loved it. Also, Tk::Tree inherits all method from Tk::Hlist, so you will it is quite easy to pick up.

    What's wrong with Tk::HList?


    Okay you lot, get your wings on the left, halos on the right. It's one size fits all, and "No!", you can't have a different color.
    Pick up your cloud down the end and "Yes" if you get allocated a grey one they are a bit damp under foot, but someone has to get them.
    Get used to the wings fast cos its an 8 hour day...unless the Govenor calls for a cyclone or hurricane, in which case 16 hour shifts are mandatory.
    Just be grateful that you arrived just as the tornado season finished. Them buggers are real work.

      On Win32, it doesn't look or act very much like the Tree common control.
