Hello,
I recently started learning Perl/Tk. My primary system is FreeBSD 5.2,
on which Perl/Tk works fine. At work, I have to use windows,
unfortunately, but it works fine, too, under Windows. I don't see why it
should not work with Solaris.
So far, I like Perl/Tk very much. I did not have any prior experience in
writing graphical interfaces, but Tk makes this *very* easy.
There's lots of tutorials available online. If you want a printed book,
"Mastering Perl/Tk" is available from O'Reilly. In my opinion it's very
good. Perl/Tk also comes with good documentation (perldoc Tk / perldoc
Tk::<widget>).
Tk is part of ActivePerl by default, under windows. Under Solaris ...
uh, I don't know, but Perl is quite probably installed along with the
system, so you just check CPAN for Perl/Tk.
Otherwise, I briefly touched GtkPerl, but I did not like it as much. Tk
is very intuitive to use, in my view, plus it's probably most widely
available. I don't think many windows-systems have a Gtk-library
installed...
(And, of course, I like the minimalistic, Unix-like look I get under...
well, Unix-systems. It's a shame in my view that Tk now uses the native
windows-look under Win32, but that's a matter of taste.)
Kind regards,
Benjamin
