note stefan k Well,<br> when I started with perl and Gtk on a thursday I only had the link to the well known tutorial which has been mentioned and linked above. <br> When I finished the application (about 1000 lines of code) on tuesday I had found <a href="http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/CPAN/data/Gtk-Perl/Gtk/cookbook.html"> The Cookbook</a>, was subscribed to <a href="http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-perl-list"> The Mailinglist</a> and studied the sources of <a href="http://www.cscmail.net">CSC Mail</a> which has a follow-up project called <a href="http://www.muhri.net/pronto/">Pronto</a> (according to freshmeat) which I don't know anything about. <p> That's all I needed to get me running. <p> Hope this helps... <p> <table width="80%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td>Regards...</td> <td align="right"> <a href="http://www.skamphausen.de">Stefan</a> </td> </tr> </table> 104432 104432
