Perl/Tk is the marriage of Perl with the Tk toolkit, which allows Perl programs to be built with attractive, intuitive GUIs. Mastering Perl/Tk is the "Bible" of Perl/Tk: the one and only book needed not only to get started with Perl/Tk, but also to learn the techniques of experienced Perl/Tk programmers. The first half of the book contains the basics on how to use Perl/Tk, with coverage of all the basic widgets and a thorough tutorial of the geometry managers that determine how each widget is laid out. Mastering Perl/Tk then branches out into advanced applications of Perl/Tk, with a series of extensive program examples. The result is a book that is not only accessible for novices, but will also take experienced programmers to the next step in learning how to program elegantly and effectively in Perl/Tk. The book also includes a complete quick reference for each standard widget and listings of all the extended examples in the book. Book jacket.
