in thread status of perl/tk?

Thanks. It's worrisome that there are bugs 2 years old that are marked critical and have not been fixed. No bug less than 3 years old has been fixed.

You worry too much :) look around the bug cue at your favorite project and compare , its really not that many

OTOH, lots of the bugs are inherited, Tcl::pTk side-steps the issue

    Tcl::pTk looks interesting. Unfortunately it looks like I would have to compile tcl from source to get a version recent enough to work (wants 9.0, ubuntu currently has 8.5). Even if I was willing to do that, I don't think my users would be.
      Looked at ActiveTcl?

      Not only that, you'll have to compile some TCL modules too

      ;) Unfortunate? Yeah, a lot of people say stupid stuff like this -- I've been saying it for decade -- building your own GUI toolkit (Prima) is much harder :)

      Even if I was willing to do that, I don't think my users would be.

      If you don't want your users to jump through hoops (good idea), then distribute binaries good buddy :) http://citrusperl.com//http://cavapackager.com/
