Hi,

Perl::Tk can not be used over a telnet session without X11 (exceed, for example on Win32 boxen). I've written a number of Perl::Tk apps for work that we run off of Sun servers using telnet and X11 on Win2k workstations using exceed, so if you do go that way it will work.

Perl::Tk also, just to be clear, runs just fine on Win32 natively, and you can use Net::Telnet within it, so you might also be able to approach your problem that way.

One last alternative that might help you out is something like VNC.

Update: mattr makes a going point as well - Curses might give you some more ideas to work with. If you wish to remain perlish look at Curses and especially Curses::Widgets, which is a nice addon that give lists buttons and other widgets.

Good luck,
{NULE}
