Re: Want to develop a windows based application

Hi
I want to develop a windows based application with PERL. Can anyone tell me
which is best way to go..
You can use the following libraries:
Win32::GUI
It is the most simple to use, it creates accessible programs for screen
readers, it uses the standard Win32 API, but the programs can run only under
Windows.
WX
This library can create programs which are portable on more operating
systems. The interface is pretty accessible for screen readers, but the
syntax of this library is some more complicated. If you know C, you might
find it easier to use.
Tk
It is pretty much used, but it uses the TCL/Tk GUI library which is not
accessible for the screen readers. It creates portable programs.
GTK2
It is not very much used for the moment, and it is not accessible for the
screen readers. I think it creates accessible programs.
Then I assume you also want to create .exe programs.
For this you can use perlapp (from Perl Dev Kit - www.activestate.com), PAR
module (it is free - search.cpan.org), or perl2exe (from
www.indigostar.com).

Make it web-based and then access it from IE or Firefox on Windows or any other platform. That's often the easiest way to do it. If you want a graphical Windows desktop program, your best bet is probably using one of the cross-platform graphical toolkits like Tk or WxWindows. Tk is older and as such better known; WxWindows is newer and seems to do a better job of actually looking like a proper Windows (or X11, or Mac, etc) application. But to get this to work, I think you'll need to bundle both Perl and the graphical libraries along with your script, as neither of these is typically available on Windows. I'm sure that there's a way to do it -- and reading up on the documentation for Perl/Tk or Perl/WxWindows will probably lead to useful sugggestions -- but then this is the point where, as I noted above, I personally usually find it easier to just cheat and develop a web application instead. -- Chris Devers DO NOT LEAVE IT IS NOT REAL -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
