Full Description

The Perl/Tk Pocket Reference is a companion volume to Learning Perl/Tk, an O'Reilly Animal Guide. Learning Perl/Tk is a tutorial for Perl/Tk, the extension to Perl for creating graphical user interfaces. With Tk, Perl programs can be window-based rather than command-line based, with buttons, entry fields, listboxes, menus, scrollbars, balloons, tables, dialogs, and more. And Perl/Tk programs run on UNIX and Windows-based computers. This small book is a handy reference guide geared toward the advanced Perl/Tk programmer. Novice Perl/Tk programmers will find that its compact size gives them a global view of Perl/Tk's capabilities; they can then turn to Learning Perl/Tk for details. The Perl/Tk Pocket Reference describes every Perl/Tk graphical element, including general widget and variable information, callbacks, geometry management, bindings, events, and window management, as well as composite widget, font, and image creation and manipulation commands.

Perl/Tk Pocket Reference Review, January 21 2000

Perl/Tk is easy to learn, but the various widgets and their objects are not. This excellent book is similar to the 'whatis' command on Unix; a brief, sucinct description of each item and its associated options. If you're tired of searching through web indexes and unwieldy documentation, buy this book! It's worth every penny!

Finally, a be all end all, quick reference of everything we love about Perl/Tk.

No more painful searching of clunky indexes on the web.

The author is to be commended for keeping the content up-to-date with extensive errata, but what that currently (Feb 2000) means is that the first edition, a 100-page 4"x7" book, now has 18 8.5"x11" pages of errata, which essentially defeats the purpose of a pocket reference. Wait for a new edition.
