my CPAN ID is vkon
my other PerlMonk ID is Courage

why several PM IDs?
vkon is boring, but Courage doesn't look serious...
I don't know what to choose between the two:)

• (est) Minu nimi on Vadim
• (rus) Меня зовут Вадим
• (zh) 我的名是 Vadim

I am involved into Tcl and Tcl::Tk CPAN modules, and have a strong opinion that this approach is much better than perl/Tk module, because:

• Tcl::Tk have much larger widgets available for usage, because of Tcl/Tk widgets (example of using BLT widgets)
• Tcl::Tk is faster than Perl/Tk, approximately twice.
• Tcl::Tk with Tcl/Tk eats less memory
• Tcl::Tk source is smaller and pure-Perl, it is lightweight and easier to manage.

After all, even WinCE device easilty runs BLT widgets, and more:
