I heard (read, actually) somewhere that TK does not intigrate as well with Windows as does Win32::GUI. That is, it is more difficult to maipulate other windows and objects on the desktop in TK. I don't have first-hand experience with TK to support this however. -Glenn At 10:08 A

I agree, Tk is still the only option for most serious projects (Win32::GUI is still, after all, a beta); though it still isn't entirely stable, either. Also, be aware that the Tk widgets are ported from XWindows, and are similar, but not identical, to the familiar Windows controls. Tk also tends

Using ActivePerl 519, PDK 1.2.3, and Win32::GUI 425, I am experiencing screen degradation problems when I run my perl executables on Novell and Windows 95, but not on Windows NT. I use the SendMessage() function to limit the number of characters entered into textfields. I also use a fixed font (C
