in thread A Perl Web Browser Plugin

The Penguin Project article was interesting, and seemed to be heading in the right direction. Is it still active anywhere? Googling for it turns up alot of non-releated Penguin projects. :-)

All I really want is to be able to run Tk or Gtk2 apps in a browser window, displaying network graphics and maybe a few buttons and animations. Essentially I want a free "Flash" replacement. :-)

    Note that this is a slight different from a Perl plug-in (and may not apply in your case), but since you say you essentially want a free Flash replacement, it's worth it to note that you can create Flash with Perl. It is a bit more cumbersome than using Tk, though.

      Yeah, see Flash slideshow with audio where I use Ming and Swftools. I'm just getting into SWF::Builder, and it looks good. It plays audio, and has more advanced features like keying on frames. I'm going to study it a bit.
