Prima is a GUI toolkit that is written in Perl. It provides user interface components that allow for the creation of sophisticated graphical applications.
Prima is an adaptable and versatile Perl toolkit designed for developing multi-platform graphic user interfaces (GUIs). It supports various platforms, including Linux, Windows NT/9x/2K, OS/2, and UNIX/X11 workstations such as FreeBSD, IRIX, SunOS, Solaris, and more.
The toolkit includes an extensive range of standard widgets that emphasize 2D image processing functions. With Prima, a Perl program appears and operates consistently across X, Win32, and OS/2 PM. Additionally, the Prima project features a visual builder and a graphic POD viewer.
The installation process for Prima is straightforward. Simply unpack it anywhere, then use "tar xzf Prima.tar.gz" on systems with GNU tar, and "gzip -cd Prima.tar.gz | tar xf -" on other systems. Afterward, change directory (cd) to the Prima directory and input "perl Makefile.PL". If everything goes well, type "make".
If the previous step runs smoothly (it might take several minutes), you can choose to enter "make test" and "make install" or experiment with Prima without an installation requirement. In the latter instance, you must set your PERL5LIB environmental variable to point to the Prima directory.
It is recommended to run the samples provided with the package located in the examples subdirectory. Execute them as "perl examples/filename.pl". Prima is an excellent choice for GUI development- explore, enjoy, and share!
