Hello Here's my first try at a new ptk modules list. Basically, I've changed the contact links to point to the whois list and I've added some missing modules and some links to the CPAN search site. No, I haven't added the concentration game as it was was not uploaded to CPAN ;-) Please tell me if some of your modules are missing. CheersTitle: The Perl/Tk Module List

Introduction
The Perl/Tk module list is here for the same reason as the main Perl module list, to change duplication of effort into cooperation and help to save the world! Do your best to design such that your Tk::* module will make good use of the building blocks found on CPAN, putting together new building blocks where appropriate and simply glue them together with the Tk API. Hopefully these modules will also serve as good examples.Playing Your Part
Tk and Perl are world-wide collaborative efforts, naturally, the Perl/Tk integration project is the same.You've started on the right foot simply by reading this document, thanks!
Please be sure you've read the main Perl module list, all that is said there is relevant here!
If you have any additions or changes for the list, please send them to the Perl/Tk mailing list or to me.
If you wish to share your module(s) the Perl way, by putting them on CPAN, send a request to [EMAIL PROTECTED] to get set up with a PAUSE user id and directory.
The Perl/Tk modules
All the information corresponds to the latest updates I have received. We don't record the version number or release dates of the listed Modules. Nor do we record the locations of these Modules. Consult the contact, try the usual perl CPAN sites or ask in comp.lang.perl.tk or on the Perl/Tk mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Please do *not* ask me directly, I simply don't have the time. Sorry.Each Module listing is very short. The main goal is to simply publish the existence of the modules, or ideas for modules, and enough contact information for you to find out more. Each listing includes some characters which convey (approximate) basic status information.
For example:
Name DSLI Description Info ------------- ---- -------------------------------------------- ----- Cloth Rdpo Object interface to Tk::Canvas and items GBARR
Where the 'DSLI' characters have the following meanings:
- D - Development Stage (Note: *NO IMPLIED TIMESCALES*):
- i - Idea, listed to gain consensus or as a placeholder
- c - under construction but pre-alpha (not yet released)
- a/b - Alpha/Beta testing
- R - Released
- M - Mature (no rigorous definition)
- S - Standard, supplied with Perl 5
- S - Support Level:
- m - Mailing-list
- d - Developer
- u - Usenet newsgroup comp.lang.perl.tk
- n - None known, try comp.lang.perl.tk or comp.lang.perl.misc
- L - Language Used:
- p - Perl-only, no compiler needed, should be platform independent
- c - C and perl, a C compiler will be needed
- + - C++ and perl, a C++ compiler will be needed
- o - perl and another language other than C or C++
- I - Interface Style
- f - plain Functions, no references used
- r - some use of unblessed References or ties
- O - Object oriented using blessed references and/or inheritance
The Info column gives a contact reference 'tag'. Lookup this tag in the Contacts
section of this document. If no contact is given always try asking in comp.lang.perl.tk. or on the Perl/Tk mailing
list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Ideas For Adoption
Modules listed as in the 'i' Development Stage with no contact reference are ideas without an owner. Feel free to 'adopt' these but please let me know so that we can update the list and thus inform anyone else who might be interested. Adoption simply means that you either hope to implement the module one day or would like to cooperate with anyone else who might be interested in implementing it.Cooperation
Similarly, if an idea that interests you has been adopted by someone please contact them so you can share ideas. Just because an idea has been adopted does NOT imply that it's going to be implemented. Just because a module is listed and being implemented does NOT mean it'll get finished. Waiting silently in the hope that the Module will appear one day is unlikely to be fruitful! Offer to help. Cooperate. Pool your efforts. Go on, try it!The same applies to modules in all states. Most modules are developed in limited spare time. If you're interested in a module don't just wait for it to happen, offer to help.
Module developers should feel free to announce incomplete work early. If you're not going to be able to spend much time on something then say so. If you invite cooperation maybe someone will implement it for you!

Scripts:
Alan Burlison suggested a new category to 'I' - s for script - no external interface (used until script are better supported by PAUSE)
Name DSLI Description Info ------------- ---- -------------------------------------------- ----- explain Rdps Oracle query plan & SQL cache viewer ABURLISON ptktrl rdps pTk shell: TRL support & persistent history ACH tkpod rdps POD browser with hypertext capabilities ACH viewHistory bdps RCS or HMS graphic history viewer DDUMONT rcsWork adps RCS file manager DDUMONT hmsWork adps HMS file manager DDUMONT
Where Are The Modules Kept?
Modules can be found on CPAN in the
modules/by-module/Tk/ directory or by following the author info link and going in the authors/id directory. For instance for DDUMONT,click twice on "DDUMONT" and you'll get of the distribution files written by DDUMONT.You can also search the CPAN site.
Otherwise, feel free to ask the contact author or the ptk mailing list how you can go about getting your hands on a copy.
