Yeah ... "Browser Client" applications tend to take longer to do anything in. The interface cannot contain all the features and rings and bells a normal GUI can (unless you use Java and use the browser just to download and host the application). Another thing ... browser is a general ussage program, therefore it uses much more memory and processor power than a small program that only does one thing. Which on less equiped computers may mean that the user will spend more time waiting. I would not want to have write my programs in web browser based editor, read my emails in web based mail, listen to my MP3s using a web based interface etc. etc. etc. If the application is something you use twice a week I'd say it would be better if it was web based (so you did not have to install upgrades almost as often as you use it), if you use it most of the time you'd go crazy. (I'm going crazy from the ##%*%@^#%*&$^#$ PVCS written in Java, even that is toooo slow and restricted.) > Should I continue learning Perl/Tk then ? :-) Depends on what do you need. I think if I needed to do GUI in Perl I'd go with wxPerl or maybe gTk. But please don't take this as a "wizard's" advice, I have never done any GUI in Perl.
