Re: Win32 again

["Robert G. Werner" <rwerner mail microbsys com>]

I do think a Win32 port of Gtk-perl would take a Win32 port of
gtk+(i.e. gtk+ using native Win32 calls rather than the Cygwin port).
Last I heard that port was in some difficulty or inactive (however,
I haven't followed this closely so I could be wrong about that).

If you are looking for a windowing toolkit for perl under Win32,
check out Tk.  It has been ported to use native Win32 calls and the
calling syntax is the same,  as far as I know,  across multiple
platforms.

The sooner you make your first 5000 mistakes, the sooner you will be
able to correct them.
