Tk::Clock

Clock widget for Perl/Tk with analog and/or digital display

DESCRIPTION

A canvas clock widget with both analog and digital representation of both time and date.

It is highly configurable for as far as colors and fonts and the way time and date is displayed.

The year is displayed in two digits in the default configuration, which makes it not Y2K compliant.

PREREQUISITES

perl5 (probably 5.004.04 or better) Tk (probably 400.xxx or better)

This port was tested on several OS's with perl-5.8.8-dor, perl-5.8.7-dor, and perl-5.8.5-dor in 32bit and 64bit builds all with Tk-804.027.

BUILDING AND INSTALLATION

As all CPAN modules: 

        # perl Makefile.PL
        # make test
        # make install

make test should run the clock with some changing contrasting colors showing the following configurations for 4 seconds each:

  1. Both analog and digital clock,
  2. Only analog clock,
  3. Only digital clock,
  4. Both analog- and digital clock using an american like time/date format (for wich I shouldn't actualy support formats, cause amaricans do often not support european formats, but I thought, I'd be nice for this time),
  5. Only digital clock with an empty time format and a double line date format showing the day of the week and the date.

BUGS

Probably a few. One of them is that if you change the clock too often with ->config (), some elements might not be moved correctly, like getting a clock with 5 hands :)
