in thread Perl Tk macOS segmentation fault 11

Thank you for your thoughts. However, I disagree that Tk must look so bad. In fact, even Perl/Tk on Windows looks pretty decent and with some work I can create quite appalling GUIs. The problem on macOS is that it rely on Xquartz and here, yes, it looks OLD. However, this has nothing to do with Tk. Using the Tcl::pTk module I discovred a few days ago, my Perl/Tk scripts suddenly looks pretty modern (no Xquartz needed). just try for yourself using the integrated widget examples (run widgetTclpTk). And it looks pretty Mac-ish too

    I hope you meant "appealing", not "appalling" ;-)

    Nah perl/Tk is tcl/Tk fork from 1994. Tcl/tk moved on since then. Perl/tk aka Tk.pm aka Tk is stuck with the looks it has, that you can tk::style
