Do I need Tcl/Tk in order to build Perl/Tk?

Short answer: No not at all. Perl/Tk is completely independent of Tcl/Tk. Longer answer: In order to build Perl/Tk from source code you do need a recent version of perl, the perl/Tk source code kit, a graphical user interface library such as Xlib, Presentation Manager, or Win32; a C or C++ compiler, and a make utility.

In some rare cases Perl/Tk binaries are distributed for some platforms but that is more the exception than a general rule (see below). More.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
