From jarich at perltraining.com.au Sun Apr 1 17:51:19 2007 From: jarich at perltraining.com.au (Jacinta Richardson) Date: Mon, 02 Apr 2007 10:51:19 +1000 Subject: [Melbourne-pm] Perl Web Development opportunities Message-ID: <46105387.6040805@perltraining.com.au> G'day everyone, I just had a call from Robert who is looking for someone to help him out with his website. Apparently his previous developer has moved on. Beyond the fact that it heavily uses Perl, he couldn't tell me much about it, but he assured me he provided regular work and I expect he's happy to work with someone who's moonlighting. He suggested his ideal person is "starting out". So if you're interested in trying your hand at a little Perl consultancy and would like to get in contact with Robert please contact me and I'll pass on his phone number to you. All the best, Jacinta From crshort at gmail.com Tue Apr 10 04:30:41 2007 From: crshort at gmail.com (Christopher Short) Date: Tue, 10 Apr 2007 21:30:41 +1000 Subject: [Melbourne-pm] No Meeting?

Hello All, As per the announcement on osdc_clubadmin there is no OSDClub meeting tomorrow at Editure. This decision was based on the close proximity of the meeting to Easter and the lack of organised talks. For future reference if anyone has anything open source related (not just Perl) that they want to talk about or are interested in hearing more about please do not hesitate to discuss via email on the OSDClub emailing lists listed at: Best regards, Ben Marsh Treasurer Melbourne Perl Mongers From leif.eriksen at hpa.com.au Wed Apr 11 17:57:14 2007 From: leif.eriksen at hpa.com.au (leif.eriksen at hpa.com.au) Date: Thu, 12 Apr 2007 10:57:14 +1000 Subject: [Melbourne-pm] Anyone get in to the Google Developer Day ?

For design tools there are: GUI Loft (Win32 only) - http://user.bahnhof.se/~johanl/perl/Loft/ Glade-Perl (Gtk+ only) - http://www.glade-perl.connectfree.co.uk/ If you're just looking for a GUI toolkit (without the design tools) then wxWidgets is gaining a lot of popularity: http://wxperl.sourceforge.net/ (Perl side) http://www.wxwidgets.org/ (wxWidgets homepage) wx may also have a few GUI design tools, but I haven't checked.

Audacity is written init, but I suspect it sits on top of lots of C++. I have heard getting wxperl to compile can be difficult. Wx tutorial - old though, form 2001. http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2001/09/12/wxtutorial1.html Then again, perhaps you could use this thing called "HTML" - apparently its very cross-platform....

I have tried different more native gui options on windows with very mixed results (inexplicable windows equiv of segfaults). It is stronly object oreintation and there are many many examples either in the distro for WxPerl or on the website. C++ code that uses WxPerl can be relatively easily translated to Perl and there is great documentation on the Wx widgets library. On the down side it can be hard to compile WxPerl against the C++ libraries on the various platforms. Since you are using windows and maybe activePerl check for a ppm distribution. Also, there are subtle becaviour variations cross platform. The Mac version needs a specially compiled perl binary so that it can create windows. On windows you can use the wperl.exe to run the Wx based application without opening a console window as well. Maybe I need to write a talk ;-) Ben Marsh * Deborah Pickett (debbiep-list-melbpm at futzle.com) wrote: > I'm old school and remember about PerlTk.
