in reply to Portable GUI Toolkit

Probably the most wellknown GUI module for Perl is Tk. But there's also a gtk interface, and there are a few more. A search on CPAN should reveal them.

As for report generator tools, there's a lot already buildin in Perl, like formats and print(f). For more advanced stuff, it all depends what kind of reports you want to create from which data in which format.

Search CPAN to see if there's something that's useful for you.

    Although GTK+ is portable to a lot of platforms, and Perl is portable to a lot of platforms, the Perl-GTK+ interface doesn't work on Win32 (at least, that was the situation when I tried it ~6 months ago).

    Tk or Wx are probably the best bets for portable GUIs under Perl.

    I would like to offer multi-font reports with possibility to place grafical objects, the program should provide report preview and has possibility easely change report templates (at least for power users).

    I think it could be some XML based report generator...
