NAstyed has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Just before i started to learn perl, (2 months ago), i spoke with some friends, about my interest of learning a language that not only was attached to a web browser, just Javascript and VBScript, this is because in my job i only make things related to web-sites, form validation, database conected sites, dinamic content, well, nothing that without a web browser can be viewed.
So when i watched aplications like the Real Jukebox, Win Amp, WinSQl, well all of them, my questions were always:
"Is this hard to make?"
"Is this easy to do?"
"How can i do a similar aplication?"
Well, the answers were allways:
"Learn Visual Basic" (note that my friends are not gurus)
Well, i didnt learn nothing about Visual Basic, and i dont am planning to do so. Then, a friend came and told me all the good things about perl, i was facinated and didnīt let another day passed without read the Llama Book.
Now that i have an idea about what perl can do, i am begginning to wonder, if i can still make visual interfaced applications, with buttons, etc.. (i hope this can be understood).
This question is about how visual can a program be, writed in perl. I understand that the client must have the perl interpreter, but i can deal with this.
Maybe my question is not very clear but i hope you all understand it.
What advice can you give me?
Thanks to all.<br
