Re: Perl / Tk Gui Toolkit?

2004-02-25 Thread Benjamin Walkenhorst
Hello, I recently started learning Perl/Tk. My primary system is FreeBSD 5.2, on which Perl/Tk works fine. At work, I have to use windows, unfortunately, but it works fine, too, under Windows. I don't see why it should not work with Solaris. So far, I like Perl/Tk very much. I did not have any pr
