Re: Tk with map - Perl newbie

in reply to Tk with map - Perl newbie

As a newbie to both Perl and Tk, I highly recommend the TkDocs site. The tutorial housed there covers multiple OS and multiple programming language issues and comparisons. The Mastering Perl/Tk book is still relevant for the Tk module, but programming best practices have changed and newer Tk libraries/wrappers have been written to take advantage of native operating system widgets to produce better looking and working results.

Good luck with your programming!

Hi, I would like to know about libraries and wrappers that produce better looking results. Could you provide any links? TkDocs doesn't seem to offer much for Perl TK users.	[reply]

Are you sure you've looked at the TkDocs site carefully? They have an excellent guide to installing the current generation Tk on your favorite programming language. In addition, the entire tutorial, starting with the first example includes Tcl, Ruby, Python, and Perl variants of the source. Just look for the code blocks and the camel icon. One thing the site is not, however, is a guide to using Wx, Gtk, Qt4, or even Win32::GUI. If that's what you thought I was saying, I apologize.	[reply]
