Hey this is pretty cool! Quick and easy to use.

I'm also confused by the 100% Perl quote, I tried a disassembler and it does not appear to be Perl code at all, at the very least, not "compiled" with PerlApp or with Perlcc.

All in all, pretty cool. I was able to whip up a quick frontend in no time at all. Personaly, I would probably only use this as a learning tool for TK but even so it has value in that regard.

The only concern I have has been expressed above, how do I know the code generated is going to work on *nix?, copy and run all the time would suck. Also, how many assumtions do you make that you are running ActiveState's Perl?

Looks like a good start, I would recomend portability as the next "feature".

Bugs

  • No "Save before quiting?" dialog when closing.
  • Help tab should consist of more than an "About" entry. If it doesn't have Help...don't call it Help.
  • Having samples would be a good thing.
  • When running something with an illegal command the error window did not always popup, had to push the "run" button several times to get the error.
  • The error message was in German, I could figure it out...but my German is pretty rusty these days :)

    "Nothing is sure but death and taxes" I say combine the two and its death to all taxes!
