Greg, I was wondering if you've used Glade with Perl. I think it's everything that VisualBasic is. It allows you very simple access to the vast range of really complex components and provides very simple access to the code both via generated 'only edit me if you know what you're doing' code and 'ignore the rest of the program and just write what you want me to do when you click here' callbacks. This of course comes with all the advantages and disadvantages of such an approach. It's very easy and quick to build a GUI that functions well and stops you making so many GUI bloopers, but it's a very fixed approach that doesn't lend itself to too much dynamic GUI creation. Later. Mark. -- perl is my itch (Simon, did you recently do an advertising campaign for divorce laywers?)
