Just as a quick update, we will be including Tkx in ActivePerl for all platforms including OS X. It is already included in the beta release of 5.8.8.817.90. By default it uses a pre-packaged set of Tk widgets and not the local Tcl installation, but you can redirect it by setting an environment variable. The next beta release will include a GUI client for the new version of the Perl Package Manager (PPM4) implemented using Tkx. So you will be able to see how the GUI looks on each platform. It will be another month or so before we make that beta release (5.8.8.817.91) though. Cheers, -Jan
