I want to run some client-side perlscript WITHOUT using ActiveState's tools for IE. In other words, I want to create the link between a browser (IE and Netscape, on both Win32 and *Nix) and an existing perl installation on a client machine so as to run perlscript in the browser without any server connection. Essentially I want to use the browser as a simple OS independent GUI and avoid Tk. Anybody ever done this outside of ActiveState? So far I've found precious little documentation (read none!) on how this is done although it can't be hard--the ActiveState perlscripting engine dll for Win32 is only 70KB. Presumeably there is something buried somewhere in the MS Libraries for Win32, but I have been able to turn it up yet. Any thoughts would be most appreciated. TIA JimE
