Re: [wxperl-users] porting a perl/tk application to perl/wx

[Bob H. <cat...@ya...>]

Mattia,

I do not know wxPerl, so I cannot code in it. In my
last mail I mentioned tk::ApplicationNest

http://search.cpan.org/dist/Tk-ApplicationNest/

I can do better myself with tk, but I think it would
be a good starting point to approach wxPerl. Someone
that knows wxPerl could write a similar module for us.
The task does not involve writing a whole API
interface, nor the API for wxPerl itself; it is only a
super-widget for the main window, with a menubar, a
taskbar, and a statusbar. Served with an example would
be even more useful, say, with a movable splitframe, a
listbox on the left and a notebook on the right. It
would be a very good framework to get started. With
one such framework, well coded by someone who knows
wxPerl, many tkPerl users would be able to get started
properly and quickly, playing with it, customizing it,
adding objects, etc. I understand that one can do
something more complex with a proprietary interface
builder running on windows, but everybody else
(osx,linux,bsd,...) who codes by hand would just be
happy with minimal GUI code a' la tkPerl, with a clear
and minimal interface where to attach one's data to
the GUI. There is a gap, but someone from the wxPerl
community has to go the extra mile to attract more
users. I think that a "tk::ApplicationNest" for wxPerl
would be enough of a bridge. Do you know of a good
fellow who would agree to do it? :-)

Regards,
Bob
