I think you are confused about how Tkx actually works: Tkx is a Perl interface to Tcl/Tk using the Tcl.pm module to access a Tcl interpreter. ActivePerl contains a packaged Tcl interpreter and a set of common widgets all bundled with the Tkx module, so this is all you need to create Tkx applications with Perl; you don't need ActiveTcl for it. If you want to install additional Tk widgets, then you can install ActiveTcl *in addition* to ActivePerl and configure Tkx to use the local Tcl installation instead of the one bundled with ActivePerl. If you want to wrap a Tkx application into a standalone executable, then you may want to use PerlApp from the *Perl* Dev Kit.

Re: Tkx vs. Tcl Dev Kit
Greetings Kanhaiya, At Jan's recommendation, I made the switch to TKx for my PerlApp executables. I was previously using Perl TK but I needed to make apps for the Mac using PerlApp on a windows computer. It was a lot of work and I only have converted a few scripts so far but everything works perfectly. One script uses just about everything TKx has to offer.TKx is perfectly compatible with ActivePerl and PerlApp. Documentation is a little light on TKX although there is one online tutorial that is very helpful that jan recommended. http://www.tkdocs.com/tutorial/index.html Monday, May 31, 2010, 6:51:39 AM, you wrote: K Whic one is better for GUI based perl application?
