( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

Newsflash

This is going to be a big pain, and will never end.

#1 - When coding for Windows - use .Net - otherwise why are you using Windows?

#2 - The hours/days/weeks you have wasted/will-waste pining away for a workable Perl solution on windows could have been applied to a finished product in C#. Get Over It - your time (and your clients'/boss' time) would be best spent on something that will actually work.

#3 - The free version of Visual Studio will probably do everything you need, for free. You can package up your program as a normal installer (*.msi or *.exe) and it will look just like any other normal Windows program. No more arm-wrestling, no more banging your head against the wall.

WTF?

I know this is PerlMonks, but sheesh - TMTOWTDI, right?

Disclaimer - I completely HATE windows, use only Ubuntu for my desktop and would still rather write a desktop program in C# than @*&$ off for a month making a mess out of a Perl GUI program that's supposed to run, over the network on multiple versions of Windows for your average Windows user. Give Me A Break!

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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.
