in reply to Re^3: Perl/Tk code structure
in thread Perl/Tk code structure
Thanks.
However, I'm afraid that your definition of "complex" differs quite a bit from mine. Most of the code of the module went right over my head. Even if I ignore everything outside of sub gui {...} on the assumption that I don't need to know anything about how the STDIN/STDOUT redirection chicanery works, most of the code inside the sub is also Greek to me. I get the three Tk widgets and have a vague idea about what the rest does, but no clue how.
I'm afraid that the recipe for setting up a radiobutton widget based on what the original script prints to STDOUT and passing the selection to its STDIN would begin with "spend a week reading a couple of hundred pages of impossible to find, indecipherable documentation and writing/debugging test scripts" and may end with "give up".
