Tk is a great graphical toolkit to write desktop applications. However, one can get bothered with the constant typing of quotes and options. Tk::Sugar provides handy subs for common options used when programming Tk. Benefits are obvious: - Reduced typing: The constant need to type => and '' is fine for one-off cases, but the instant you start using Tk it starts to get annoying. - More compact statements: Reduces much of the redundant typing in most cases, which makes your life easier, and makes it take up less visual space, which makes it faster to read. - No string worries: Strings are often problematic, since they aren't checked at compile-time. Sometimes it makes spotting an error a difficult task. Using this alleviates that worry. WWW: http://search.cpan.org/dist/Tk-Sugar/
