Re^3: Tooltips for Tk widgets in perl - easier than ever

[zentara]

Yeah. someone has to keep people aware of the virtues of Tcl/TK ...... it's good, but Tcl is not Perl, thats it's drawback in my book.

I, for one, think its not good to recommend Tcl::Tk to novices, because this approach requires deeper knowledge on what is happening, and one should be prepared to unexpected

But I don't understand your argumentation that "Tcl is not Perl" as drawback.
Its quite common to use external library of something, even if that library is not Perl.
Why the limitation?

just for the record, Ruby+Tk, Python+Tk, Perl+Gtk2, etc, etc all use external non-perl libraries.

Ok, I'll crawl back under my rock now. :-)
