Are you on Unix / Linux / Solaris / BSD / etc ? In that case, no, probably not, though as noted in another reply, you can simulate a GUI in a text-mode environment using Curses. But if you actually want windows and menus and mice and so on, you need X. If you're running on Windows or OSX, there are toolkits for making graphical Perl applications that don't depend on an X server. I'd elaborate, but from your message headers -- Thunderbird on X11 -- it sounds like you probably aren't running one of these. -- Chris Devers -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
