Yes, you are perfectly right. > I hope I don't get flamed for recommending a non-wxPerl solution on the > wxPerl mailing list; in my opinion it would be easier and more efficient to > use, build, maintain, and deploy, mod_perl, FastCGI, or even the standard > CGI modules (depending on server load), then to deploy your solution to each > individuals desktop, laptop, etc. Also agree, but not with the word "use". It is not as simple to use a web app as a desktop app, because the web controls are much more limited, the web interface is not as accessible from the keyboard as a desktop GUI, and the accountants always prefer a desktop app. :-) The web is the best in most cases, but not always...
