in reply to Is WebPerl the Holy Grail* of universal cross-platform Perl app distribution?

Finally you can package and distribute your Perl application using Electron, just to make people scream with horror.

Ideally, you make a performance monitor with it.

    I found electron to be a huge resource hog and I stopped using it for e.g. MS-Teams. Too unreliable.

    Things might change for the better though.

    can you share an example?

      That's just a combination of electron-fiddle with one of the webpages that have been linked often enough.
