[vtkusers] perl/tk with vtk

[Randall Jones]

Why not use Python with Tk?

I've wondered about Perl myself.  Why is there not a Perl binding?
Not that I'm advocating a Perl interface, I far prefer Python!
But, Perl is more commonly available with default installations of
Unicies.
I could see how a Perl interface might be useful for processing some
data for an interactive Web visualization application.  Although, Python
could just as easily serve this type of need!

While I'm using bandwidth, I'd just like to say Thank you to the
developers responsible for the Python bindings.
I personally use them extensively for small applications, testing and
fast proto-type development.  I'm glad they're there!

Just curious,
Randy
