Thank you for replying. :-) I've been kicking this one around for many years, trying to find a good GUI toolkit that is multiplatform, well designed/ documented, and preferably Perl. Along the way, I've made a couple of explorations of C#, .NET, etc.. The recently free VCSEE 2005 and 2008 tools are tempting lures, as are the many C#, .NET, CLR, WinForms, etc., books. Unfortunately, very few M$ centric books tend to be of the caliber I desire. I am also leery of mono after experiencing other OSS implementations of M$ technologies. I do see the advantages of C#, but Perl is still my preferred language. My requirement for free/OSS precludes ActiveState's Perl Development Kit and PerlNET. It's a tangled morass, with no clear winner. Another idea for meeting my previously unstated need for a stand-alone GUI application (e.g. no Internet connection) would be a self-contained web application and server running on localhost. I use WampServer for Drupal testing, and it works very nicely. It's been a few years since I played with Apache/ *SQL/ Perl, but do recall that HTML controls were very primitive and the end result was orders of magnitude slower than a native GUI. Are there better WWW controls for Apache/ Perl/ CGI/ mod_perl now? Any thoughts on AJAX?
