Re: Professional IDE for a cross-platform Perl application

Re: Tad McClellan

The first version was written in a DOS-based database. The
unix-based perl/tk version is the latest of ports. The former
was perl/cgi running under a web browser.

A Perl CGI program *never* runs under a browser.

CGI programs run on web *servers*.

I can assure you that my perl/cgi application was running on a web
browser.
Bloody slowly, and with serious limitations, but it was running. I
managed
to gain in speed and functionality with Tk. I hope I will gain further
speed
and functionality with a better GUI.

The application uses linux-specific features,

Then an IDE will not help in porting it.

An IDE will not do the porting for me, that's for sure. But it will
help me
in spotting all the OS dependent parts, so that I can change them.
