in reply to Hands-on of Perl by Web

Hi Solli,

Can you explain why you chose a web browser talking to one server?

It sounds like you're trying to reinvent a wheel. Think about it: If you need people to talk to one central server, give them ssh accounts with a restricted shell and let them write and run Perl there. If you want to let them use Perl without having to install anything locally, suggest they use a Knoppix disk. (Can ActivePerl be run from a CD?)

I'm sorry to suggest that you look for another solution. Can you explain your requirements in more detail?

    I object to your comment about reinventing the wheel. I think in this case it's more like making the wheel easier to put on your car.

    I know the Linux guys hate to hear this, but to most users, running fewer programs makes things easier. Pretty much every computer I've ever seen comes with a web browser installed so a web based solution requires almost zero effort for the user. Plus you have firewalls to consider.

    As for securing it, that probably would be easier with something like SSH.

    Can ActivePerl be run from a CD?

    I've been able to run Perl and TinyPerl from a BartPE CD as well as running PerlIDE to debug scripts under WindowsXP.

    The big problem with using BartPE is that each user would have to build his/her own CD because of copyright. So I don't believe BartPE would be a good solution. However, as proof of concept it shows that you can get Perl to run off a CD on Windows.

    jpeg,

    Fletch and Cap'n Steve answered your question as I would. This idea is based on the "Try Ruby", where I could see a little about this languange without install anything on my machine, and why not do the same for Perl ?
