Re: Re: Re: Perl/Tk doesn't look that bad

I should redirect your thanks to Malcolm Beattie, the original author of module, but for some reason he is not reachable.

Besides, to get most benefits from that module you should know some Tcl programming, but this piece of knowledge is not that much and, IMHO, not more than perlTk knowledge, and good documentation should cover this problem.

perlTk hides widget paths from user (but hides them not completely, user still should know them if (s)he go deeply into perlTk details), as opposed to Tcl::Tk module where widget paths should be specified directly.

Anyway, I hope soon I'll release quite stable release.

Anyone know if Nick Ing-Simmons is working on getting the next Tk released?	[reply]

Looks like Nick Ing-Simmons is quite busy and he do not appear on perlTk mailing list unfortunately. He appears on perl5-porters quite often. (I hope I do not do anything bad by discussing absent people offline) Anyway. he released Tk804.024 that is quite alpha, and then Slaven Rezic prepared a special update patch to that release, also available on CPAN, and I remember discussion between Slaven and Nick about this, and they decided current situation as quite acceptable.
