Hi, I am having learning Perl. I am in the process of selecting a complete Open Source environment for Development of common business application for the organisation.
Perl is the language of choice as it is stable, documented and more importantly because of DBI. We cannot do away with xBase either during the transition period which could be around a year or two.. This kind of architecture will be very useful in Countries like India where still 386/486 are not part of land dump but rather prize possession. The basic Application architecture is All the application/business logic is in Perl with the code fork, only if required, for User interface part of it. In this regard, One of the issues is the front end development -- we want Character mode as well as GUI mode. for the application as the client end has a motley collection 386, 486, P1, Celeron h/w with varying configurations. GUI can be handled with Web browsers with CGI.pm. I am not aware of other alternatives. Now I am not able to find a decent Character Mode witha all the bells and whistles which will help build at least transactional portions. Can somebody please suggest alternatives, guidlines etc..
