Re^2: Should I use Perl/TK?

[Tux]

HUMBUG! perl/Tk is actively maintained and has the huge advantage over other GUI toolkits that it has close to no dependencies, making it easy to get it work on almost any OS. The only disadvantage is that some perceive the decoration as old-fashioned. So be it.

perl/tk is not a binding to Tk, it is a port of Tk source to perl. Nick I-S had partially automated this to keep up with updates, but Tk 8.5 is not an update. The file names are changed with the whole ttk tree added. It would be a new port from scratch.
