Hi.  I guess the subject here says it all.  I would like to find a simple but 
effective GUI for a Perl application for Windows 98 and 2000.  I've written numerous 
command line Perl scripts but this is my first attempt at a Perl application with a 
GUI.  I've started looking at TK.  

My first question is do people think I should look at other GUIs before delving too 
deeply into TK?  I have seen references to something called Glade and also to wxPerl I 
think, but I haven't looked at these in detail.  I found a Glade tutorial but it 
seemed strongly oriented to Unix, and the comment I recall from reading about wxPerl 
was that documentation on the Perl side was not good.  The thing is, I'm using Perl 
from ActiveState and TK is right here.

I've had a read through the user guide but I'm still looking for more help.  I would 
dlike to find an example of a simple but more than trivial application that I can look 
at which uses TK in a real situation.  Any suggestions?  Also any leads to an on-line 
tutorial would be good.  I haven't found anything yet that has actually come with 
Perl, though it would not surprise me if there isn't something already in the 
labarinth of stuff here on my PC I haven't found yet.

Also I'm confused about the widgets demo.  I've seen two references to "run the 
widgets demo", but I can't find it.  Sure I have a directory here called "demos" 
inside the TK directory, but it looks to me that this is holding libraries of things 
rather than an example .pl file to actually run.  

Any help with any of this would be appreciated.

Cheers.

CJL
