With Perl\/Tk, you can build Perl programs with an attractive, intuitive GUI interface with all the power of Perl behind it. Mastering Perl\/Tk is the \"bible\" of Perl\/Tk: It's not only a great book for getting started, but the best reference for learning the techniques of experienced Perl\/Tk programmers. The first half of the book contains the basics on how to use Perl\/Tk, and then branches out into advanced applications with a series of extensive program examples. The result is a book accessible for novices, and invaluable for experienced programmers ready to learn the next step in the elegant and effective use of Perl\/Tk. The book includes: \u003cul\u003e An introduction to each of the basic Perl\/Tk widgets and geometry managers A dissection of the MainLoop, including how to use callbacks and bindings effectively Coverage of the Tix widgets, an extended set of widgets that are a part of the standard Perl\/Tk distribution Working with images in Perl\/Tk, including bitmaps, pixmaps, photos, and how to compose a compound image type How to create custom mega-widgets in Perl\/Tk, both composite and derived Handling interprocess communication with Perl\/Tk, both with standard Unix utilities (pipes and sockets) and with the send command designed for direct communication between Tk applications Developing your own Tk widget in the C language Examples of web applications written with Perl\/Tk and the LWP library \u003c\/ul\u003e The book also includes appendices on installing Perl\/Tk, a complete quick-reference for each standard widget, and listings of all the extended examples in the book.
