Hi,

sorry if this is a silly question. I do not have big experience in Perl and all my skripts so far were used only by myself.

Now I wrote a small application. The back-end is a simple database (sqlite file). The front-end is a user interface written in Tk. The front-end is then packed with PAR::Packer into an executable. This executable as well as the db file are supposed to be placed on the server (into a shared directory). The users are supposed to get a link to the executable to start the front-end from their workstations.

I tested this approach with 2-3 users simultaneously and it worked. In the real life there would be up to 20 maybe 30 users who would work with this program and probably some of them would start the packed Perl/Tk front-end simultaneously.

Are there any pitfalls on this approach? Are there any limits to the number of users who can simultaneously execute a packed Tk script? Thank you!
