Fortunately I have control over the version and initial setup of IE, so I'm ok
on that count.
For this project, on Windows, I just need a very small window, preferably
without a title bar, always on top, at least by default, that displays some
regularly updated output.
Having not used Perl to create UI elements before (and primarily on UNIX,
besides), if I was to create a simple popup using a non-IE method, would you
recommend I look first at some Perl interface to Windows dialogs, or Perl/Tk
(is that mentionable in this group? ;^)), or what? If you have time, what are
the pros and cons of the various methods? Any example code would also be
greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Garyl
