gtk/perl is an xs based module that allows access to the gtk and gnome
libraries from perl.
The API is very close to the gtk+ api, though in some points it has
been changed to be more perlish and it is explicitly OO.
Gtk, Gdk and Gnome provide for both an high and low level interface,
so I find it more useful and practical then tk.
Have a look at the examples or try it out.
