Prima: Cross-platform GUI toolkit written in Perl

Because that’s not traditionally what readme files were for, and this one is much more of the traditional style of readme file, not the more recent style where a GitHub repository is treated as a landing page.

Traditionally, readme files were for what you might want to do once you had received the code, which most obviously means how to build it. They were certainly not intended as landing pages.

A better link for this HN submission would be http://prima.eu.org/, which is the actual project page. The GitHub repository currently linked is only the source code.

Perl actually had a pretty good UI story way back when. Perl/Tk always was well documented and Perl's syntax works quite well with the original Tcl-ish/Shell style.

Note that GIT's default GUI parts are written in exactly that.

Tk then hit a bit of a limit when it came to common widgets, and so got less popular.

Perl also had a good implementation of Win32, if I remember correctly.

These days, both Perl and GUIs are on a steady decline, so there's not much moving in that space. Gmusicbrowser[1] is written in Perl/Gtk, if I remember correctly.
