Yes, I do a lot of Perl stuff some using Tk.  I've never really used Perl
together with C, but you definately can though!  You can also (with some
drawbacks) compile Perl progams into C and do all kinds of other wonderous
stuff.

I would recommend compiling Perl yourself as it can be a hastle until you
actually know a fair bit about Perl.  Best to just download a binary from
www.petes-place.com or www.activestate.com (The first is a "pure" build of
Perl, while the second uses a more enhanced "Perl Object" written in C++,
but it won't support threading).

Best Regards,
Nick Read
