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
Re: Perl/Tk aqua
Hi Juan. I asked nearly the same question some time ago. The AquaTk which is delivered by default with MacOSX Tiger can only be used if you use Tk with an Tcl-Perl Bridge like Tkx. The Perl/Tk module is only useable with X11. Check out the module Tkx on cpan. I quote the answer that I got from Jan Dobois: TclTk Aqua is shipped with Mac OSX Tiger. Is it somehow possible to use it with Perl? You should be able to do this with the Tcl::Tk module: http://search.cpan.org/~vkon/Tcl-Tk/ The Tkx module provides a nice interface on top of Tcl::Tk: http://search.cpan.org/~gaas/Tkx/ I have not tried this on OS X though, so it is possible that the modules don't work out of the box there. The Perl/Tk bindings are only for X11, right? Yes.

They did a very good job. You can use all the Tk under an aqua environment. No XWindows needed. The question is: Is there any of this kind kind of porting for Perl/Tk?
