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>
