I'm really surprised at this opinion. I think Tcl is a perfect
botch, but Tk is beautiful, at least for relatively simple
interfaces. This elegance carries over well to Perl/Tk, even
if it is not quite as seamless as in Tcl. What don't you like
about it?
Stuff like instatiating a button by calling a factory method on
its container, instead of calling the button classes constructuor
and packing it. Passing labels by reference and changing them by
changing the referee. More stuff like this I can't remember off
hand, which effectively all makes it really hard to refactor bits
for generality as you go.
I suppose this is all true, and I wouldn't want to "scale up" a Tk app.
But these features are all terribly handy when you're just throwing
together a basic UI. At least, this is what I remember from my
experience; I haven't used Perl/Tk in years.
