Re: Professional IDE for a cross-platform Perl application

I want to divide them. I also do not want to work by hand on another

As stated above, I am searching for an integrated development

that would take care of the GUI and its porting. I do not want to type
code
for the GUI, and debug it, and port it, and and and. I am done with
that mess above.

Ah, yeah, the magical IDE. I think it's called outsourcing :-D

Porting from/to Linux/Windows works perfectly without changing any
Tk-related code. There is c.l.p.tk for perl-tk questions.

Sorry, I am no longer interested in tk.

Nor in programming, so it seems.


I doubt if you will find an "IDE" that takes your Perl/TK application and
magically transforms it into a fast running cross platform product you
just have to plug some C into.

Probably best thing to do is reverse engineer it, and redesign it in a
language that matches todays requirements, and maybe for a few years to
come.

BTW, Perl *does* compile. But if you want it to compile to hide secrets,
you are mistaken. If you want to compile it to bundle it, have a look at
PAR. If you want to "compile" to speed things up: a close look at the code
might improve it.
