Re: Re: Stunnix Perl Web Server - a platform for portable browser-based applications

I've got a server-in-a-page that I modified from a comp.lang.perl.misc posting from 3 years ago. I was even playing with it to deploy where I work and replace a bunch of VB apps. *shrugs*

I always thought that this would be a good way of writing apps, but after I wrote mine I realised... nah. It's a bit too clunky. It needs a strong widget command language. Some of this promised .NET stuff looks interesting. ____________________ Jeremy I didn't believe in evil until I dated it.	[reply]

What I've found is that using PerlScript as your events language instead of JavaScript makes things a lot nicer. Granted, you don't get to register new events, but it's still really nice.

For cases of moderate complexity it's enough to use basic type of form controls HTML provides. For more complex ones - it will be possible to write complex widgets (since .NET is able to).	[reply]
