Hi Dirk,

I don't know, why Tk looks cumbersome to you - it's
well documented, you get a great book about it
("Mastering Perl/Tk" by Steve Lidie, Nancy Walsh at O'Reilly)
there's a living mailing list (Steve, Nick himself and a lot of
other great Tk specialists contribute a lot) and it's very easy to use.
It's also cross platform, of course. And you can re-use a lot of
knowledge should you ever need to develop a GUI for Tcl
(which God may save you from ;-)

Once you get over the initial hurdles (which you will face
with every GUI package), you won't find it cumbersome
anymore.

Regards,
Gerhard

I am ready to attempt some GUI programming in Perl. I have looked at
Win32::GUI and need more documentation for it than I can readily find. I
have looked at Tk and it looks a bit cumbersome. What are you
recommendations? I require something that is compatible with 5.6 Perl. I
would like something that I can get up and running on quickly and that
is well documented for beginners. My primary interest will be in
developing a GUI that lists files for the user to choose and another GUI
that will be strictly as a scrolling display that will be updated often.
Your suggestions will be appreciated.
