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!!
