Scripting languages have rapidly become the best way to code many
applications, in some cases surpassing traditional languages like C.
Among several prominent such languages, Perl stands out as perhaps the
most popular. But Perl by itself has no graphical interface, making
certain types of applications more difficult. Perl in combination with
Tk, a graphical user interface toolkit, overcomes that weakness.

At the UUASC October meeting, member Mike Elliott of Sun Microsystems
will give us an introduction to Perl/Tk. Tk has been closely associated
with Tcl, another scripting language, but Mike will explain how it works
with Perl. He'll cover platforms on which it runs, language independence,
and why Tk should be used with Perl rather than Tcl. He'll also present
a simple "hello world" application, a discussion of frames, and how the
geometry manager works, in order to understand fundamental issues of
layout organization.

The UUASC is for all persons using Unix either personally or professionally,
or interested in learning more about Unix. We recognize all varieties of
Unix, including (without prejudice) SCO, Linux, SVr4, Solaris, AIX, and OSF.
This is a good place to meet others with similar interests and broaden your
skills and knowledge. Generally, meetings include a technical presentation
on a hardware or software topic of current interest to the Unix community
and a round-table discussion of current topics of interest to the group.
We are always looking for interesting presentations and your suggestions
are most welcome.

Please join us this month and bring along your friends or co-workers. Also,
please forward this announcement to others who may be interested and feel
free to post it on BBSs, both electronic and physical. If you receive more
than one announcement by email, please let us know so we can keep our lists
current. Thanks for listening.
