Re: A perl/Gtk Newbie

[john knops <jknops goulburn net au>]

Thanks for the advice James. I guess I was trying to do it easy. I've fiddled 
around a little with Perl/Tk so hopefully that will help. I've already looked 
at the tutorial at www.gtk.org but it's a bit light on how to create a canvas 
with text, images and a coloured background. So watch this space for more 
questions over the coming weeks.
