On Perl vs the rest, please read

L. Prechelt, "An empirical comparison of C, C++, Java, Perl, Python, Rexx, and Tcl", IEEE Computer, 2000.

On GUI for Perl, I asked wxGlade to separate the function from the form, and thus make the code intellectually manageable (possibly better than Perl/Tk). My notes are on their mailing list. They promised to work on it, but the project has a clear drive for Python.

On the poor documentation and ugly coding of wxPerl, I have left notes on this too in their mailing list, long ago. I left with the certainty that it was not going to improve, unless someone with expertise on Perl/Tk would have taken the royal project to redesign wxPerl from where M. Barbon has left.---I looked for notes on how to port Perl GUIs from Tk to Wx, but had seen none so far.

On Perl 5.10.0, after two/three months, there are still too many modules that are not up-to-date, mostly because they do not compile and need patches.

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.


No such thing as a small change
