I know the answer to your question but I'm not going to tell you. Instead I'll help you learn more by asking you the following question. How many "Perl Moldules" in the "lib" subdirectory use Tcl/Tk? Hope this helps!

That would be a great thing. Since I like coding in perl so much more then tcl/tk. And I use vtcl since I can't stand to write a GUI when I can draw one. I would turn out apps at a lighting pace. As it is the tcl parts slow me down, since I don't use tcl daily like I use perl. I can code perl in my sleep. But I think, that the job would be much harder then you think. Since tcl stores all the functions as tcl code, the final code writing function is simply to walk a set of variables and print there values. That is pretty close to reality. (right?) It would be as easy to take the vtcl's tcl code as written by vtcl and translate that into perl. Something like a2p, the Awk to Perl translator, would do the trick. So I would suggest the general case, \\ tcl2perl // anyone? Someone that can write translators better then I might get this done, in there sleep. :) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the Visual Tcl mailing list, please send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe vtcl [EMAIL PROTECTED]" in the message body (where [EMAIL PROTECTED] is your e-mail address). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the Visual Tcl mailing list, please send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe vtcl [EMAIL PROTECTED]" in the message body (where [EMAIL PROTECTED] is your e-mail address).
