alert boxes with perl

[sun9]

hi,

Is it possible to create alert boxes like in javascript using perl?

Thanks.

Do you mean from a web page? If so I usually just use perl to write out javascript to call alert

alert box in a console, probably, alert box on a web page, no. Use javascript for that like travs69 says.

To make an alert box from the console, look into the Win32 module. Specifically:

Win32::MsgBox(MESSAGE [, FLAGS [, TITLE]])

    [EXT] Create a dialogbox containing MESSAGE. FLAGS specifies the required icon and buttons according to the following table:

            0 = OK
            1 = OK and Cancel
            2 = Abort, Retry, and Ignore
            3 = Yes, No and Cancel
            4 = Yes and No
            5 = Retry and Cancel

            MB_ICONSTOP          "X" in a red circle
            MB_ICONQUESTION      question mark in a bubble
            MB_ICONEXCLAMATION   exclamation mark in a yellow triangle
            MB_ICONINFORMATION   "i" in a bubble

    TITLE specifies an optional window title. The default is "Perl".

    The function returns the menu id of the selected push button:

            0  Error

            1  OK
            2  Cancel
            3  Abort
            4  Retry
            5  Ignore
            6  Yes
            7  No
