The windows libs for Qt 4 ( http://www.trolltech.com/ ) are now free for open source projects. The Qt development tools came with my SuSE dist and I've played with them some. You can assemble all the GUI parts in the Qt builder and then execute a script that converts the Qt project to Perl modules which was really nice. And Mandrake Linux has been using Perl with the Gtk binding to make a lot of their administrative tools. There's an article about it on www.perl.com. GL -- Sean Quinlan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
