Re: Perl window question
Perl TK is fun. I've never used TKX. TK is simple... you bind perl subs to your interface. It takes less than an hour to learn.

Hi Prmarino, I will look up Perl/TK. "anonymous references"? Is that the mysterious "->" thingy? $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new; $ua->timeout ( MaxTime1 ); $ua->show_progress; Can you point me to a good web page to "finally" figure out what that is? Thank you for helping me with this! -T
