[columbus.pm] Something to talk about maybe?

[Howard, Matt]

I remember read/seeing something a couple years ago that you could (though I
don't know why you'd want to) embed a tk app in a web page....

This is kind of in reply to the previous message..

I'm fairly new to perl and I don't know much yet about using it 
with GTK or TK/Perl.  There is a pretty cool program that I 
found out about a few months ago called Kgutenbook(and also 
tkGutenbook.  the Kgutenbook is the same thing, but 
specifically for KDE).  Anyone heard of it?  It automatically 
goes and downloads all of the book titles and info from the 
gutenburg project and displays them in its own window.  From 
there, you can just click a title and it automatically downloads 
the file and displays it in its own book style format(just 2 
pages).  

The address for the program is 
http://www.llornkcor.com/software.htm

Well now to my point.  What are the advantages of using perl/Tk 
against GTK?  Has anyone worked with either long enough to 
discover any glaring or even nonobvious problems with either?  
Also, I know that Tk programs will work in windows, but will GTK 
stuff?   If GTK isn't available for windows yet, that could be 
another reason why to use Tk. 

Later,
-Seth
