Here's my first attempt at a calculator written in perl. I've been using Tk for a long time, but recently I discovered PerlQt. What's nice about PerlQt is that it allows layouts to be designed in the QT Designer program with the aid of the pqt-designer plugin.

I did the basic layout in pqt designer, which let me set up the geometry and colors easily, and figure out which functions were availible for each widget. I don't know anything about calculator design, so this implementation may be a bit naive, but it came together pretty nicely. The look is patterned after the version of kcalc that comes with mandrake 10.0.

After I had the look set up I used another pqt tool called puic to transform the .ui file from QtDesigner into a perl script. I added all of the event handlers and the Buffer class by hand in vim

There are probably bugs. For one thing it does not properly format long number strings to fit in the display window. Also it only catches and ignore divide by zero errors, it doesn't send an error message to the display. Also to enter numbers that begin with a decimal point you must press Key_0 followed by Key_Decimal. And worst of all no -/+ toggle yet.

I figured i'd put it up anyhow, since I don't see that many programs written in Perl Qt, and I found it a bit easier to use than Tk or Wx

Any comments are welcome

Re: A PerlQt Calculator

    here's an attempt at fixing some of the problems listed above. I moved most of the Math into the buffer, in an attept to divorce the Display from the logic, and I used Math::BigFloat to represent the digits, but I still need to play around with the precision on divides.

Re: A PerlQt Calculator

    Cool! I gotta learn more about Qt now. I did have problems installing Qt from via perl -MCPAN -eshell but was able to get it installed from by following the links you provided. I did have a problem doing 2 X 2 = ? But I really like your PerlQt Calc. ++

      Oops, good catch. That was my mistake. The display was filtering out results with only one digit.

      changing the filter fixes that. 

      
$result =~ /^-?\d+\.?\d+$/ 

to

$result =~ /^-?\d+\.?\d*?$/
