mailmeakhila has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello monks, I have written a script for a user. He doesnt have perl installed on his machine(windows). He wants a gui for the script.I am sure that we cant run exe from html pages. Is there anyway that i can give a gui without installing perl. Note: This script runs on windows scheduler. Any ideas are really appreciated. Thank you Akhila.

    Your question is kind of all over the place...

    You want to run a perl script or is it a binary executable (exe)? You will need perl compiled for Windows to run a perl script on Windows. You're right, you can't run it 'from html pages,' whatever you mean by that =P

    If you really don't want to install perl for this user, compile your script into an exe (Perl2Exe) and write your GUI into your script using something like Tk.

      Thank you. Ill use Tk for GUI.
