[tcltk-perl] New Tcl::Tk to follow?

[jeff <je...@ro...>]

I see the new Tcl module is released to CPAN.  Will there be a 0.98 of
Tcl::Tk following ?

Also could could someone post a short blurb of what dlls ( & dylibs for
Aqua ) would be required for packaging Tcl::Tk stand-alones with perlapp
or PAR ?  

Any gotchas with packaging this module with TclTk ?

I hope so,
but now some large change was developed by John Cerney, which brings a much better perl/Tk compatibility, but at the same time makes the module rather large.
So it will take few days to make some decisions.

Essentially, Tcl::Tk it was just one single pm, and there was some good in this.

Now I think that Tcl::Tk should be split into Tcl::Tk-"mini", which brings just perl/Tk syntax, and all remaining part, which brings full perl/Tk compatibility.

I do Tcl::Tk+PAR, but my approach is non-standard, because I link tcl/tk some of binaries directly into the shared library of Tcl CPAN module.

I do not know details of ActiveState's "tkkit.dll" approach, maybe its easier for PAR?

Vadim.

PerlApp knows about the Tcl module and will package the tkkit automatically
so that it will be available again at runtime.

I just did `cd \perl\bin && perlapp tkx-ed` on a Windows machine and the
generated tkx-ed.exe works fine on a machine without Perl and Tcl installed.
I believe it is the same on the other supported platforms. 

Cheers,

Thanks. That is encouraging.  :-)

Vadim,
Can I download a release version 0.98 of Tcl::Tk prior to it making its
way onto CPAN?
