Re: Tk vs. wxPerl is obviously IMVHO,
so *for me* procedural programming is easy than OOP.
For example, *for me* is easier to write the hello world written in Tk
use strict;
use Tk;
my $mw = MainWindow->new( -height => 100, -width => 350);
$mw->title ("Hello, world!");
MainLoop;
than wx one:
use strict;
use Wx;
package MyApp;
use vars qw(@ISA);
@ISA = qw(Wx::App);
sub OnInit {
my( $this ) = shift;
my( $frame ) = MyFrame->new();
$this->SetTopWindow( $frame );
$frame->Show( 1 );
}
package MyFrame;
use vars qw(@ISA);
@ISA = qw(Wx::Frame);
sub new {
my( $this ) = shift->SUPER::new( undef, -1, 'Hello, world!',
[200,200] , [350, 100] );
return $this;
}
package main;
my( $app ) = MyApp->new();
$app->MainLoop();
So IMVHO to programming wxPerl you have to know more Perl than to programming with Tk.
Documentation issue: Tk has 3 books from O'Reilly, several chapters inside other books (Advanced Perl Programming,
Professional Perl Development, others?), 1 newsgroup with years of posts, searchable with groups.google.com
or with www.peltk.org, years of development with tons of scripts aka large community.
wxPerl unfortunately has only a mailing list without a working search engine and few excellent
tutorials.
But Perl/Tk is years old and wxPerl is young. This scenario is IMVHO the normality.
DLL issue: my dir command on win32 says those dimensions. Only this.

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).
