[MacPerl] Re : MacPerl/Tk, FaceSpan, Send Data and friends

[Philippe de Rochambeau <pr1@club-internet.fr>]

I have played a little with Mac Tk v. 8, and although the buttons and windows
look Macish, you can tell that it comes from the Unix/Windows world: Windows
don't center properly, dialog windows display ugly Unix/Windows icons, there
is no way to make the Wish window disappear, and adding widgets to windows in
a snake-like fashion does not appeal to me.

I think that Facespan is a better alternative to Tk as an interface designer
for MacPerl on the Mac. Facespan has a drag and drop IDE and is a 100% Mac
application. You can currently exchange data between an application designed
with it and MacPerl using the Do Script command. I would be willing to help
designing a MacPerl module to increase the level of interaction between
FaceSpan and MacPerl if some of you were interested in such a project.

P.S.

Matthias,

Could you please provide us with detailled examples of how to use MacPerl's Do
Script and Send Data commands?
