Does it mean that you did separate module for GUI operation and in principle you can replace the module with another one and all your application will be running? For instance replace with Prima GUI or Win32::GUI (in principle means without some GUI widgets or events which are specific only for WXwidgets).

I think if you did such a separation then it should help you very much. All you have to do is to make instead WX widgets/event their CGI/javascript counterparts. I would be very happy if I could take a part in a project deal with the stuff! Please look at my site: seal.sao.pl, where (very, very slow!) such a project is developing (GUI part now). regards wb. > > Thanks > Erez > > 2009/11/30 Waldemar Biernacki <w...@sao.pl> > > > Dnia środa 25 listopada 2009 o 12:41:48 Erez David napisał(a): > > > Hi, > > > > > > I have written a nice GUI application using WxPerl and now I want to run > > the > > > same application with the same look in a web server so it will be a web > > > application and users can use it with a web browser. > > it strongly depends on what is the application.
