I am contemplating playing around with windows programs and perl. I have been using perl scripts for many things at work on my linux boxes, and wanted to try writing some things for the windows boxes too. Specifically I want to play with GUI programming. Is Perl/TK the way way to go about this, or are there other better options? I read that Perl/TK is outdated, and should not be used anymore, and to use tkx. Any advice? Is one easier than the other? Is one faster, better, and so on. I know, these can be loaded questions, but I don't really know where to start. I found several how-to's, but they seem to be very out of date. CPAN has a link to a toutorial on the perl tk page, but it was from 1999. Is it still what I should be working with?

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).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
