[MacPerl] Want to learn more about Mac GUI

["Aiken, Greg" <greg@tradesvc.com>]

I've got a fair amount of experience with procedural programming with Perl &
MacPerl.  Recently, I tried the MPPE GUI example that displays a Pict in a
window.  I wanted to try to extend this example by adding functional 'scroll
bars' to the window (to allow the picture to be 'moved' within the window).
While I've got Apples official Volumes 1-5 (on using the Toolbox - sorry,
the exact title of this series of books does not immediately come to mind) -
I'd be lying if I said I had the slightest idea as to what I'd need to do to
accomplish this task.

I'm intrigued by what can be done using the Toolbox, but I'm equally
fustrated by the non-intuitive documentation provided on this rather
confusing topic of 'hooks', 'events', 'event queues', etc... and
relationships between each objects events.

Has anyone done extensive Mac GUI development using MacPerl (and MacPerls
syntax)?  I would be most appreciative of anyone that could provide some
easy to understand MacPerl GUI examples.

So as not to waste bandwith, my email is <mailto: greg@tradesvc.com>
