Two books. Learning Perl/Tk and Mastering Perl/Tk. I think Mastering Perl/Tk is really all you need. There's also a pocket reference that I have and it is quite helpful because Tk is a pretty extensive module. But, really, like Perl, you don't need to buy books to learn. There is a lot of docmentation just with pods. A LOT. And because Perl/Tk is so extensive and dynamic, you won't learn all you can if you never looked at them. Navigate the pods (For something like Tk, you would be best with perldoc.com) and check out the FAQs (http://www.lns.cornell.edu/~pvhp/ptk/ptkFAQ.html) and go from there. >2./ Can anyone recommend a class that will help lower my learning curve >(specifically on Perl/Tk). As far as Perl goes, I can say I feel decently >comfortable detecting codes written in Perl. Perl/Tk, however, is a >different ball game. Honestly, if you just get Learning Perl/Tk it's very simple to pick up. Sometimes its easy to get lost when you start Perl/Tk because its looked at as something other than what it is: a Perl Module. You shouldn't have too much trouble if you have command of perl in making GUIs. I wouldn't take a class just for the Tk module. > >Thank you. > > -will (the above message is double rot13 encoded for security reasons) Most Useful Perl Modules -strict -warnings -Devel::DProf -Benchmark -B::Deparse -Data::Dumper -Clone (a Godsend) -Perl::Tidy -Beautifier -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
