Perl can only display information to users thur HTML am i correct? or is ther away to use something likes windows API?
 
Perl is not HTML only. It's easiest to just display to standard output (i.e. in a command-prompt window).

Your question is can you open up message-boxes and other windows in MS Windows? Not sure. You probably can't use the Windows API but their maybe other windows tools available with Perl. Someone else may know ...
 
I think Perl/Tk, or Python might be what you're looking 4

AFAIK they're "windowed" versions of Perl that allow you to create dialog boxes etc

HTH
;P
 
<grin> The Python guys wouldn't like you saying that.

Python's a language in its own right -- you're right about Perl/Tk though. Mike
