( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
I started to play with GUI on Perl using Tk, but when I found http://wxperl.sf.net it was perfect.

wxPerl is much more portable than any other GUI library, is fast and has a lot of resources.

Note that wxPerl is a wrapper for wxWidgets, so, you need to use the documentation of wxWidgets (http://wxwidgets.org/) to use it's components.

For wxPerl we also have some extra modules already wrapped for Perl, like Wx::ActiveX where you can use IE, Flash and Windows Media Player from you app.

If you want portability and stability this is the choice.

Tk is also a good tool, but is not so stable (at least from the last time that I have played with it) and is ugly, since it's look will be always the same in all OS, and wxWidgets will look like the main GUI of the OS, so, we can use the nice look of Mac OS X, etc...

Applications using wxWidgets include:
AOL Communicator, Audacity, AVG AntiVirus, CADToMill, Chandler, Chess Commander, CTSim, Display Doctor, EarthVision, Forte Agent, HelpBlocks, ImageLinks, Intuitive MX, LDAP Explorer, Lmule, Mahogany, MinGW Developer Studio, MojoWorld, Musik, StoryLines, TerraIM, TortoiseCVS, VietAnh, Voxel 3D, Vulcan, wxBlogger, xCHM, Zeemo, Zempt ...

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
