&lt;strong&gt;&amp;bull; Update:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Ok, originally this was a meditation. Which meant that the below update would have been applied to the main node. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
This is just a heads up for you GUI folks out there. I just got shown a kickass library that blew my socks off.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Check [http://www.prima.eu.org|Prima] out. Its a whole lot [http://www.prima.eu.org/big-picture|nicer] looking than any TK ive seen so far. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&amp;bull; Update:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Ok, im sitting here getting a walk through of Prima, and all I can do is laugh and shout at how cool it is. Dmitry has done some reallly cool stuff. Full GUI designer (in a Delphi style), lots of toys. Pod viewer. File vewier. Matrix Style demo. &lt;b&gt;ALL IN PERL&lt;/b&gt; The only C involved is a libary to povide a common GUI baseline. It derives features from Windows,OS/2 and X11, and its really cool. Watching him drag a font onto a Window and have it change its font (ala OS/2) was just too cool so I added this update.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
This is the freshest coolest neatest thing i perl that I have seen (besides Perl itself.) If GUI in perl has been something you wanted, but TK didnt move your world you have to check this stuff out. 
&lt;/p&gt;
