in reply to Browser as a Perl GUI?
And remember, even though you may not be dealing directly with a shell, the webserver is. In essense, by creating web front ends to Perl scripts, you are creating a bypass right back to where you started. This may make sense for a group of users who do not have direct access to the tools on a computer, but for a single coder who already had the access, it can only be best used as an educational tool for that single coder. And there's nothing wrong with that. ;)
