Hi Monks-

I want to write a very simple gui program for a system that does not have any of the perl gui tookits installed (ie. no tk/gtk/qt/wxwidgets). It runs KDE and has the native libraries, just not the perl interface libraries.

This system has a good perl 5.8.4 installation but Cpan does not work on this system, so I'd have to manually install all the perl modules.

Would it be much work to manually install one of these gui toolkit perl interfaces? I'm trying to figure out which would be the easiest for me to get installed (and I'd have to install the modules under my home directory also)

In reply to which perl gui toolkit to use? by redss

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
