If you're looking to target win32 specifically, Win32::GUI using the GUI Loft as a wysiwig solution can be nice. (http://www.bahnhof.se/~johanl/perl/Loft/) Distributing standalone binaries is not as easy, but it is possible using PAR, etc. They are slow to start up the first time as it explodes the archive to the cache, but afterwards are quite snappy. The GUI Loft author is also very responsive to queries and issues. andy _______________________________________________ Boston-pm mailing list Boston-pm@mail.pm.org http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm
