Re: WinLoft - Can we port it to Linux?

Look at using the Tk series of modules for GUI stuff that is portable across various platforms. The Tk modules provide a complete toolkit of GUI gadgets. There are other choices out there, but this is one popular one, that I'm somewhat familiar with. It is fairly well supported in the Perl community.

I have no idea what WinLoft is... googling for it just turned up a bunch of geneology sites. ;)

As that site says, the applications built with WinLoft use the Win32::GUI interface, which is only available on Windows. You might be able to leverage some of its capabilities for a porting effort, but it's likely to be incomplete and labor-intensive; there is no easy way to port Win32::GUI code to platforms which don't support the Win32 API.
