I have been giving a lot of thought about Microsoft Access. It's a neat little product even though I am not a big fan of Microsoft. What has me thinking along these lines is that my current employer sells a product with a similar goal for Unix/Multi user systems.

Now I'm thinking maybe the goal isn't so bad. A system you half configure, half program. With the whole forms and configuring tables through the use of wizards. There might even be a macro language available. But when things get complicated the system uses perl with a few custom DBI and UI modules. I've always thought that perl is great for anything under 1000 lines but anything larger gets nasty. This might be an approach to split up a large system making a perl based system easily maintained.

The product could be used for a basis of a whole slew of enterprise based systems and might further the idea virus we call 'Perl'.

Any Suggestions/Heckling?
