RATIONALE: comp.lang.perl.tk

Perl/Tk (also called, in various incarnations, "pTk" and "nTk") is an
extension for the Perl programming language that enables programmers
to develop X applications.

It's popular.  There's a high-volume mailing list devoted to Perl/Tk
([email protected]); the suggestion for this newsgroup arose from that list.

There are probably many people who are interested in Perl/Tk, but have
never heard of the mailing list, or are dissuaded from joining because
of the message volume.

There are probably many people who are only casually interested in Perl/Tk,
and would like to be able to skim a few weeks worth of messages.

There are probably many people who program in Perl, but don't realize
that Perl/Tk exists.

CHARTER: comp.lang.perl.tk

This newsgroup will serve as a forum for:

o       questions/answers/discussion about Perl/Tk
o       getting/installing/porting Perl/Tk
o       development of applications in Perl/Tk
o       development of Perl/Tk itself

as well any other topic related to "using X from Perl via Tk."
The newsgroup is NOT for discussion about Tcl, except as it relates
to Tk and/or X.

Novice questions, code snippets, etc. are encouraged.

END CHARTER.
