Re: Conversion from Web script to stand-alone

While this may be anathema here, have you thought of moving over to java? All the bio-based tools are available there as java classes. Then, your standalone will run nearly anywhere. The methods for making a user interface are also fairly well-developed. I find myself turning to CGI for nearly all of my perl-based GUI stuff, but for a standalone, CGI may be a bit of a bother, especially on the windows platform.

Or, alternatively Perl/Tk and PAR - to get a cross-platform standalone gui application. Learning Java may not be worth the hassle. This is because it is a terribly-pendantic overly-verbose closed-source slow-execution-time environment - with no access to CPAN or an equivilant. That's why not many things are written in it. Whoops. Did I say that outloud? -Andrew. Andrew Tomazos \| andrew@tomazos.com \| www.tomazos.com	[reply]

I guess I should look into PAR some more. I agree with your java poke(s). I haven't learned much yet, either. Sean	[reply]
