Hello everyone.
I enjoy working with Perl and like to use it exclusively at work and
home. I've been given a few tasks to complete at work and I'm looking
for a simple way to create GUI applications but still use Perl. The
problem lies in that I need to develop a few apps that will be used at
50 different facilities. I'd rather not hassle my administrator with
getting Perl installed everwhere else so I need something that I can
contain in one reasonably sized file and send to all the other
facilities.
I've already written the apps on the console level. Do any of you have
ideas on simple GUI compilers that I can use to develop the interface
that would wrap nicely around Perl? For example, Rapid-Q makes
creating GUI apps easy, and the executable is a manageble size. It
would be fantastic if I could make the two or three forms I need in
something similar to Rapid-Q and point the menu and button calls to
the Perl code I've already written. Compile it all up into one file
and send it off to the other locations. I know I might lose some
performance doing things this way, but I'm not too worried because the
apps I need to create are pretty simple and my intended audience is
not computer professionals who require loads of options.
I'm using ActiveState Perl on WinXP at home. The other facilities are
all currently running WinNT.
Any thoughts? I thank you for your time.
