Perl interface to the Tk graphical toolkit

Back to search · Project homepage

Description

The Tkx module provides yet another Tk interface for Perl. Tk is a GUI toolkit tied to the Tcl language, and Tkx provides a bridge to Tcl that allows Tk based applications to be written in Perl. The main idea behind Tkx is that it is a very thin wrapper on top of Tcl, i.e. that what you get is exactly the behaviour you read about in the Tcl/Tk documentation with no surprises added by the Perl layer. For a gentle introduction please read the Tkx::Tutorial. The tkx-ed example needs the bwidget OpenBSD package.
