1. You do not need anything Java for doing Perl Rui work. The installation instructions detail the requirements
  2. A screenshot is on the site
  3. The partitioning you propose is fine. You propose a thick client talking to web services or a shared database. For some scenarios, partitioning on the presentation layer is better:
    • No client download/install of Perl, application (Shipping standalone perl apps on Win32), drivers, etc.
    • No need to think in two places (client + server) and write partitioning code (e.g. for using the web services)
    • Roaming support without writing roaming code
  4. Mozilla client will be available very soon. No plans for Safari/Opera. It is very easy to write a Java/wxPerl/Flash/etc. client.
  5. Is a feedback request a SOPW or a Meditation? Whatever the answer the site explains everything, and there is even a YAPC paper online
Monks are not feeding back on this because of the IE6-only requirement you mention, and perhaps because this is a strange technology.
