Try wxPerl instead (Score:1)

by SuperCruncher (3330)

Wow, there hasn't been much action on use Perl; recently, probably something to do with YAPC::Europe [yapc.org], which I've just come back from...
Anyway I would recommend using wxPerl [sourceforge.net] instead. It is more mature, and is very cross platform. It runs on most UNIXs, Win32, Mac OS X and many more. Its API seems pretty pleasant, and it uses native controls/widgets, so your app doesn't look "alien". The toolkit is a wrapper around the C++ WxWindows [wxwindows.org] toolkit. Also I'm not sure what license PerlQT is, but AFAIK QT is only GPL

    If you looked on the Download page [sourceforge.net] you'd find a link to a PPD.
    It makes sense for wxPerl not to be in the Activestate repository due to their infrequent updates.
