# Qt(3pm)

Perl interface to the Qt GUI Widget toolkit

## NAME

PerlQt - Perl interface to the Qt GUI Widget toolkit

## Qt

Given the huge size of the Qt module (more than 400 classes and 13000 methods) it doesn't have any formal documentation.

Instead, it provides two introspection tools

- •

  pqtapi:

  a command line PerlQt API introspector

- •

  pqtsh:

  a graphical PerlQt shell

and a detailed **tutorial** with comprehensive explanations.  This is where anyone new to PerlQt should start.

The tutorial has been originally installed  on this system in `"/usr/share/doc/libqt-perl/tutorial"`, in both **POD** and **HTML** format.

For a complete IDE allowing RAD and visual programming,  check the pqt-designer package.
