This is a great book. It finally puts in one place all of the elements


of Perl/Tk.


It is full of good examples and I have found it very enlightening even


though I have been using Perl/Tk to build very intense applications


for 4 years.


The only thing that jumped out at me was that there was no reference


to the Table widget. Did it fall on the editing room floor?


The explantion of the geometry managers seemed to be expanded from


Learning Perl/Tk which is very helpful as this is one of the most


difficult concepts to grasp for complex UI development.


Revisiting the Towers of Hanoi problem with a Perl/Tk visualization


was a real kick!


Books like this help expose just what a useful package Perl/Tk is and


should be recommended reading for everyone!!
