You don't need an Xserver to run perl/Tk on Win32. The users would, however,
need perl and the Tk extension loaded onto their local machine. That's easy,
just download and install everything in 10 minutes from ActiveState!

Even if that isn't an option, you can still use some sort of perl2exe to
convert it into machine code for distribution. Albeit, it will be a much,
much bigger .exe than, say, a Delphi app. Another option (I think only for
N*X users though) is the netscape perl/tk plugin, which will allow the app
to be run within a netscape window.

BTW, you either run perl/Tk from the command line, or you can link the .pl
extension to run perl.exe on a double click in an explorer window.

PS..Yes, there are likely better options. But perl/Tk is easy, free and open
source. What could be better :-)

It seems that the user (assuming they are running a windows OS) would have
to download some x-window display and then using the x-window display
execute the script from the command line.
