RE: GUI front End
ï Sir, I've run into this in the past as well, I ended up writing the perl output to text files, then reading with vb. That worked for a while, as traffic increased I ended up opening up a vb tcp server and pushed perl output to . That solution worked well as then I could fork multiple child processes to handle larger amounts of data with the perl client.
