Note: The PPM GUI is written using Tkx, not Tk. Similarly all GUI applications
in the PDK are written using Tkx and packaged with
PerlApp.
You should be able to use Wx::Perl with the PDK tools as well, just remember
that you need to also use Wx::Perl::Packager:

wow, this is cool.. Just one more question..
If I am going to make a standalone executable for installation on another host,
are there any preferred GUI packages that I should
use? ie: ppm is written in Tk, should I stick with that? Or have people used
Wx::Perl as well?

Yup, you're still looking at PDK's PerlSvc packager. It's all there buddy.

great.. you are right, that's exactly what I'm looking for..
Now suppose that I want to install a standalone executable such that it is
integrated into the start menu, and also runs as part of
the startup
sequence on any machine that it is installed on... anything to help there, or
do I need to write to the registry myself? Are there
any perl based installers out there, anyways?
Thanks much,
Ed

all,
I wanted to get the following behaviors in a perl script:
1. a small icon for the perl script, in the lower corner of
the window (ie: by the system clock). Clicking on this expands the
existing gui.
2. a single instance (and only a single instance) of the
script runs at all times.
3. mousing over the script displays text associated with that
script.
4. no 'cmd' associated with the script.. runs standalone.
In short, I was looking on how to make a script that behaves like
the google desktop applet.. Anyone made something like this?
Ed
