Re: Professional IDE for a cross-platform Perl application

Hello,

I have a 15 years old application

This
application has a PostgreSQL database as server side, a tk-based
client,

I feel trapped, because
- the client is not compiled, and thus runs slowly;
- the client must now run also on osx and windows, natively;
- the client's tk-based gui is limited, but I have no clue about
cross-platform alternatives;
- each time I try to port it to windows or osx I get missing components
and misbehaviours.

I use perl-tk 804 for a Pg client application and haven't encountered these problems yet. The Tk-GUI is times faster than the Network / Server side.
I would recommend, that you do some profiling on your applications code to see which parts of your code take most of its time. Otherwise you might be disappointed after working for days on another GUI.
Porting from/to Linux/Windows works perfectly without changing any Tk-related code.
There is c.l.p.tk for perl-tk questions.
