User Interfaces lists several GUI frameworks which could achieve this, Tk is fairly common and cross platform, though you could also achieve this with a perl back end and a HTML/JavaScript front end. Consider reading PerlMonks for the Absolute Beginner and don't ignore the links displayed when posting which advise on choosing an appropriate title and so on. If you have a specific question please read How do I post a question effectively? before posting again.	[reply]

wxPerl supports a wxGrid control that looks like a spreadsheet. Update1: See http://github.com/jmlynesjr/wxPerl-wxBook-Examples. Look at example CppTrial-pg347.pl. It's an 8x10 grid example with text, numbers, and color changes. James There's never enough time to do it right, but always enough time to do it over...	[reply]
