In particular a rather nasty memory leak that afflicted Canvas rather badly has been fixed. (Consider Tk800.016..Tk800.021 its beta releases, previous stable release being Tk800.015.) 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 <<< This Tk has special workrounds for perl-5.6.0 ->isa bug which are only enabled for exactly that version. Works with perl-5.7.0 and should work with most other "recent" perl releases. This version (Tk800.023) 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 img1.2.3) by Jan Nijtmans: http://members1.chello.nl/~j.nijtmans/ Jan's "dash" patch is also merged. Tk800.023 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 binary distribution (see README-ActiveState.txt). The Mingw32 builds are stable now using up-to-date gcc-2.95.2 version of Mingw32. There are perl build issues though you need to change 'fpos_t' to 'long long' in Mingw32/2.95.2's . I have not tried a Borland build recently.
