Are you maybe interested in telling us about curses and perl? I like curses, but the modules I tried did not satisfy me. especially they had a lot of dependencies and required things on the OS to be installed additionally. Maybe you know easier ways to build 'curses dialogs'? On 6 August, 2010 03:45:50 Berlin, Gavin wrote: I'd be interested in this topic.

Why not? Writing user-friendly GUIs in *any* language is hard work, and I think it is actually easier in dynamic languages than in say C++. :) At ActiveState we write all GUIs for Perl tools with Tkx (a binding to Tcl/Tk), which produces native GUIs for Windows, OS X and X-Windows, and I know others are pretty happy with wxPerl as cross-platform GUI toolkit as well. As for Tkx, I think the Perl-Critic GUI frontend included in the Perl Dev Kit looks pretty cool ( you can download a free trial if you want to try it out yourself, or just a demo on YouTube here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgykR6tHsRU ). But anyways, what is the reason you think GUIs and Perl don't mix?

Whatever the effort was and if or not clear code behind ;-) anyway thanks for that link, a new perl editor is interesting anyway, going to try it. 2010/8/9 Andreas Hernitscheck <[2]tech at tool.de> > Why not?

For instance, Qt adds introspection, reference-counted objects, and a class that can store numbers or strings, and convert between the two. Whenever I am learning about a library like that, I can't help but appreciate Perl a bit more for the things it has built-in.

Zachary Blaircross - platform GUI front ends using Qt For the location of the meeting, I don't remember (and can't find the email) of the other options. airG can host, but the building doors close at 6pm, so one of us would have to meet people at the doors to let them in, and if you are going to be late we'd have to arrange something ahead of time. Let me know if there are any other options, and any preferences, and of course if anyone else wants to present.
