Prima::faq Description

Prima::faq contains frequently asked questions (FAQ) about Prima. Prima::faq contains frequently asked questions (FAQ) about Prima.The FAQ covers various topics around Prima, such as distribution, compilation, installation, and programming.What is Prima?Prima is a general purpose extensible graphical user interface toolkit with a rich set of standard widgets and an emphasis on 2D image processing tasks. A Perl program using PRIMA looks and behaves identically on X, Win32 and OS/2 PM.Yeah, right. So what is Prima again?Ok. A Yet Another Perl GUI.Why bother with the Yet Another thing, while there is Perl-Tk and plenty of others?Prima was started on OS/2, where Tk didn't really run. We have had two options - either port Tk, or write something on our own, probably better than the existing tools. We believe that we've succeeded.Why Perl?Why not? Perl is great. The high-level GUI logic fits badly into C, C++, or the like, so a scripting language is probably the way to go here.But I want to use Prima in another language.Unless your language has runtime binding with perl, you cannot.Who wrote Prima?Dmitry Karasik implemented the majority of the toolkit, after the original idea by Anton Berezin. The latter and set of contributors helped the development of the toolkit since then.What is the copyright?The copyright is a modified BSD license, where only two first paragraphs remain out of the original four. The text of copyright is present is almost all files of the toolkit.I'd like to contribute.You can do this is several ways. The project would probably best benefit from the advocacy, because not many people use it. Of course, you can send in new widgets, patches, suggestions, or even donations. Also, documentation is the thing that needs a particular attention, since my native language is not English, so if there are volunteers for polishing of the Prima docs, you are very welcome.Requirements:· Perl Requirements: · Perl
