Re: perl web shell

I use the POE modules to do this sort of thing. POE enabled me to hook standard in and out of multiple programs to one console. I added a web server that sends and receives messages from the different programs. This provides a nice web UI or text area for simple commands, while at the same time the full capability of the command line is still available in a console window.

It took me a while to get this all figured out, but it was worth it. POE terminology was not familiar to me, but once I figured out POE::Wheel::Run I had most of what I needed.

I didn't have much luck with non-cygwin perls on Windows, but perhaps this has changed.

It should work perfectly the first time! - toma

wow I wanted to reply to the initial post but I don't know why I can't so I'll write here I think goosh is a very very good idea, it just takes out all the unnecessary stuff and you get to what you want but I saw goosh has the source on google code so I don't know why you say you have to mess with java. I looked at the source and it was pure js(maybe some google api not sure...havne't read it all). I think I'll use goosh from now on although I am a little bit concerned about cross-domain ajax and not sure how safe it is in that regard but apart from that it's good.	[reply]

Make it https and require http auth (and require modern browser like firefox3), and cross-domain is eliminated :)	[reply]

if I host it myself you mean no ? goosh.org is http. as far as the gmail functionality it provides , it makes an iframe in which it loads m.gmail.com. btw, if you suggest this , maybe you have such a setup(the above mentioned one)?	[reply]
