I have a perl app that use Tk as its interface. &nbsp;It works well and I am very happy with it. &nbsp;I would like to add one line to it which would be a link to a web site so that I can provide more info,<br />
<br />
I would like to have a line of text that looks like a link, that is, it should be blue and underlined and when clicked should invoke a sub so that I can popup the web browser window required. &nbsp;I know how to popup the web browser so all I am looking for is how to make Prt/Tk create a line that looks like a URL and that will invoke my sub<br />
<br />
Please provide a short example

A scripting language is a programming language that supports scripts, programs written for a special run-time environment that automate the execution of tasks that could alternatively be executed one-by-one by a human operator. Scripting languages are often interpreted (rather than compiled). Primitives are usually the elementary tasks or API calls, and the language allows them to be combined into more complex programs. Environments that can be automated through scripting include software applications, web pages within a web browser, the shells of operating systems (OS), embedded systems, as well as numerous games. A scripting language can be viewed as a domain-specific language for a particular environment; in the case of scripting an application, this is also known as an extension language.

Scripting Languages

Perl is a high-level, general-purpose, interpreted, dynamic programming languages with over 25 years of development. Perl 5 runs on over 100 platforms from portables to mainframes and is suitable for both rapid prototyping and large-scale development projects.  Perl gained widespread popularity as a Common Gateway Interface (CGI) scripting language, in part due to its regular expression and string parsing abilities. In addition to CGI, Perl is used for graphics programming, system administration, network programming, finance, bioinformatics, and other applications.
