Re: Packaging Perl Programs (is) Painful

Consider this another vote for the 'make it client/server' argument.

Every workstation, no matter what OS, has a browser, and a browser's really just a general purpose GUI application. Get a server capable of running Apache (or any other web server), build a web application, and use that instead of trying to fight with packaging something to be installed on Windows.

And what if the application requires access to the local file system? Or large volumes of data? Or large amounts of cpu? Or all three? Why advise a course of action that requires a complete re-write of an already working, existing application, just in order to avoid packaging that application? Especially when there is no need to package it in the first place.	[reply]
