For questions on this package try news:comp.lang.perl.tk or e-mail to or This a re-port of a perl interface to Tk8.0.5 (Scriptics's production release). It also includes all the C code parts of Ioi Kim Lam's Tix4.1.0.006 release. The perl code corresponding to Tix's Tcl code is not fully implemented. >>> TK IS KNOWN NOT TO WORK WITH perl5.005_63 <<< (Does work with 5.005_64-to-be as of 7 Jan 2000) This version (Tk800.018) requires perl5.005 or later on Win32 and 5.004_04 or later on UNIX. This version also contains re-worked Image code based on tcl/tk Img extension (version img1.2b2) by Jan Nijtmans: http://members1.chello.nl/~j.nijtmans/ Jan's "dash" patch is also merged. Tk800.018 should build and run on Windows NT using Visual C++, Borland, or with the Mingw32 port of GCC with perl5.005 or later. Can be built using ActiveState's binrary distribution (see README-ActiveState.txt). The Mingw32 builds are stable now using older Mingw32s. There are perl build issues with very new Mingw32 (2.95.*). I have not tried a Borland build recently. Goal of 800.* is to incorporate native look-and-feel to Win32 port introduced in tk8.0 while retaining as much of the perl-level API as it exists in Tk40?.* as possible.
