Have any great advances been made with a perl gui which can be used on multiple platforms? I have to say, I just wrote my first ASP.NET application in C# over the last 3 weeks, and while I had many complaints on having to write several lines of code to accomplish what I could have in 1 line of perl, as well as shortcuts that I could have taken in perl which don't even seem to exist in C#, I must say that I actually enjoyed the WYSIWYG editor.
If I could write standalone programs for windows in perl, and be able to share those programs with my non-perl collegues at work without over head of them having to install perl separately, would work wonders for general acceptance of the language. I understand that I can bundled perl itself as an executable. But the WYSIWYG IDE and easy to use executables just seem to make the language more palatable for knowledgeable, non-technical users. -John On Fri, 25 Feb 2005 19:18:54 -0500, Bogart Salzberg wrote: > >On Feb 25, 2005, at 6:08 PM, Alex Brelsfoard wrote: > >> Ideas? > >How about an alliance with Apple?
