Re: Re: Re: Crawling Flash web pages

Flash is not a replacement for Perl since it runs on the browser side while Perl is deployed on the server side. What we need are some good libraries for generating Flash pages in Perl. By the way an alternative to Flash could be the mozilla XUL engine where you could use Perl even on the browser side of things.

"Flash is not a replacement for Perl since it runs on the browser side while Perl is deployed on the server side" Highly innaccurate. The new version of Flash most certainly does run on the server side.	[reply]

And perl can certainly run on the client side. I believe we're talking about "common case" here though.	[reply]

I agree strongly Perl needs good libraries for generating Flash pages.	[reply]
