Steve, I would be happy to see your involvement! I don't know who else is interested in my "world domination" plans but I thought it could be cool to implement some interesting and very useful GUI tools on WxPerl and include them in the "Padre on Strawberry" distribution.
(Which actually needs a real name that probably does not include either Padre nor Strawberry and not even Perl). So two other ideas for those who might be interested: Total Commander: http://www.ghisler.com/ WinGrep http://wingrep.com/ I think it would be great if the "package" would come with lots of nice tools already and to give people other reasons to download it. BTW I'd recommend also reading the blog post of Mark Dootson http://binaryperl.blogspot.com/2011/06/wallasey-does-perl-gui-development.html Gabor On Sat, Jun 25, 2011 at 1:28 PM, Steve Cookson <steve.cook...@sca-uk.com> wrote: > Man, what an excellent idea. > > I feel we really need to showcase wxPerl.
