This a re-port of a perl interface to Tk4.0p3 (John Ousterhout's production
|
|
release). This version (Tk400.200) requires perl5.002 or later.
|
|
|
|
This version is the first 'production' release. There is little change from
|
|
beta release Tk-b11.02 and even less from Tk-b12. See Changes for what is
|
|
different.
|
|
|
|
Although this is a production release it should be noted that some
|
|
sub-modules are not as "finished" as others. The interfaces to Tcl/Tk's
|
|
"core" widgets Text, Entry, Canvas, Button, RadioButton, Checkbutton, Scale,
|
|
Scrollbar, Listbox, Menu, Menubutton are stable
|
|
.
|
|
As are core Bitmap, Photo and Pixmap image types. The "Composite" or "Mega
|
|
Widget" interface is also stable but lacking in some features.
|
|
|
|
The less finished parts include:
|
|
- Tk::HTML needs libwww package from CPAN which in turn requires the
|
|
libnet package. It will eventually be improved as libwww improves.
|
|
- Tk::IO requires the 'IO::' package which was first introduced into
|
|
perl distribution in 5.003_01. It is available in CPAN archive for
|
|
earlier releases. Tk::IO is likely to change as perl's IO evolves, and
|
|
with tk4.1 changes.
|
|
- Tk::Ghostview postscript previewer is still experimental, I use a
|
|
"Display Postscript" extension which I may release at some point.
|
|
- Tk::Pod should be changed to use new Pod:: module(s) from CPAN.
|
|
- Tk::DragDrop works on Solaris (and SunOS to some extent)
|
|
it should really be based on a standard.
|
|
- Tk::Xlib will evolve further if tk4.1's Win32/Mac ports permit.
|
|
- Most of the Tix stuff only has C code ported, the many of the tcl parts
|
|
still needing converting to perl.
|
|
- HList works reasonably well
|
|
- There is a port of NoteBook in Contrib - I want to clean up
|
|
- InputO has not been tested.
|
|
- There is an intent to add an object oriented interface to Canvas items,
|
|
(existing interface will still work).
|
|
- There are partially completed things like NNTP News reader which
|
|
may be finished one day.
|
|
- There are point-demo and test scripts in distribution
