GUIDeFATE VS perl5

Tk is best supported, looks a bit old fashioned but loads of resources available. Prima is pure Perl and deserves more community support. Wx looks fancy and modern, but there are some bugs with Image handling (work-around-able) in Linux systems. QT4 works and requires multiple rollbacks and enormous headaches on modern distros to install, and QT5 is not available. GTk (both 2.0 and 3.0) is by far the easiest to use IMO, and Win32::GUI is a viable for Windows app development. I also made an attempt some years back to make GUI design in Perl much easier...still an amateurish "work -in-progress".

Tk is one of the most mature guis for Perl. There are others. I am trying to dig up a page with some links by my google-fu is weak this morning. (clickclickclick). Ah! http://perl-begin.org/uses/GUI/. There is also this: https://github.com/saiftynet/GUIDeFATE. Not sure what state it is in these days. If you want to see what can be done with TK, check out Devel::ptkdb.

I was not signed into GitHub. I opened the permalink and it displayed fine. I opened the raw page in another tab; it was fine.

Nothing to do with a fixing the trap, it turns out: https://github.com/Perl/perl5/commit/4197fe35a33e6471f8f532abfd06cd6c120f180e which leads to https://rt.perl.org/perl5/Ticket/Display.html?id=109408

As we mentioned last week, this week we are working on a portable, symbolic link implementation that also works on Windows. You can see our progress here. To implement this, the Perl win32/win32.c source code would be greatly appreciated.
