10/17 Tk400.200 installed. This is a perl5 extension for utilizing TK
widgets in perl5 scripts. Sample script is shown below. -- cmlee
#!/usr/local/bin/perl5
use Tk;
$main = new MainWindow();
$label = $main->Label(-text => "Hello Sodalites!");
$label->pack();
MainLoop();
\_ What I want to know is when we are going to stop calling
perl5 perl5, and just call it perl :) :)
\_ When you can do it without breaking everyone's old perl 4
scripts.
\_ /usr/bin/perl -> perl4, /usr/local/bin/perl -> perl5
is how many sites have it set up. Look into it.
\_ Yes sir! Looked into sir! Found that most
perl-using soda users have scripts that say
"#!/usr/local/bin/perl" expecting perl4 to
be there and think you're an asshole sir!
Any other orders sir?
\_ Make perl4 point to perl, put an announcement in the motd
warning people, give people a couple weeks to change
their scripts, and then make the switch. -alanc- |
