Interface to Tcl/Tk with Perl/Tk compatible syntax
The Tcl::pTk extension (not to be confused with the "native" perl5
Perl/Tk extension) provides a complete interface to the whole
of Tk via the Tcl extension. It has full perl/tk compatible syntax for
running existing perl/tk scripts, as well as direct-tcl syntax for using any other Tcl/Tk features.
See the POD documentation for more details.
Build in the usual way for a perl extension:
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
Tweaking Makefile.PL is necessary only if your Tcl or Tk include files could
not be found automatically by Makefile.PL script. Normally you just make
sure you have right tcl/tk in your path at a moment of running Makefile.PL
script.
This will take reasonable defaults on your system and should be ok for most
uses. In some rare cases you need to specify parameters to Makefile.PL, such
as pointing non-standard locations of tcl/tk, etc. Use --help option to find
out supported parameters to Makefile.PL:
perl Makefile.PL --help
