I have an existing Perl application that I am being asked to write a

)
Note that the GUI Builder open sourced by ActiveState last year
actually has core support for Perl Tcl::Tk (and Perl/Tk). Try it from:
http://spectcl.sourceforge.net/
But regarding GUI Builder, is the core support actually for this Tcl::Tk
module?
=> I see Perl Tk and Perl Tkx support. What's the relationship between
the Tkx and Tcl::Tk modules?
Right you are ... I had forgotten that I added support for Tkx, which is
based on the same Perl Tcl module as Tcl::Tk, but is designed to not
maintain any compat or similarity to Perl/Tk (Tcl::Tk has this in part).
It also seemed as if GUI Builder does everything with the grid manager,
VTCL lets you pick the manager which I like.
Yes, that may seem nice, but in the long run, grid is the only geometry
manager I would recommend for a professional application. It offers a
much higher level of nuanced control over resizing, stretching, etc.
