This is not possible. Browsers do not support Tk. Update: The CGI script runs on the server. It sends data to the client - a browser. What data do you imagine being sent to a browser to make it show the Tk application?	[reply]

Instead of taking screenshots I actually want the window of Progress_bar.pl to run. Um, whose screenshots do you think you'll be taking? The Progress_bar.pl will run on the server, and main.pl will be taking screenshots of Progress_bar.pl Progress_bar.pl doesn't run in the browser, or the browsers computer (client), it runs on the same computer main.pl runs, it runs on the server If you want the browser computer (client) to run a program, they'll need to have perl installed, and browser configured to execute any perl programs downloaded ... or browser configured to execute any .exe files downloaded, and you send them a PAR::Packer/pp-packed perl program (or using perlapp or perl2exe...) See the above links I provided, watch the video, read the tutorials, learn how the internet works :)	[reply]

Tk is a GUI toolkit, not a web based framework. My suggestion is that you have one script (main.pl for argument sake) which displays your user interface (learn about HTML/CSS/JavaScript). I'd advise against embedding the HTML etc within your perl script. Consider using HTML::Template (or Template::Toolkit). Your example Tk program doesn't do much. You could easily replace it with an HTML user interface using advice in links you've already been given.	[reply]
