Perl TK Widget

[perltk07]

I have created a Perl TK widget which is a Form that can be filled out and submitted. Once submitted all the enteries are written to a csv file.

My question is that how can i create a webpage with this widget. Right now i run the script and my widget appears. How can I go to a website to access my widget?

Thank you

I didn't think this was even possible. TK is for creating GUI interfaces. Web programming kind of precludes that, doesn't it? I could be wrong, but I would think you'd have to convert your widget into a Perl/CGI script.

Yeah, Tk is for GUI interfaces which only "work" on the machine running the code. So, if you upload a Tk script to a web server and somebody accesses it over CGI, that somebody won't see the Tk windows. On the server end, Tk windows will start popping up and the server admins might get a little bit annoyed at you. So, the server would pop up Tk windows all over, but the end user over HTTP isn't going to see anything at all.

If you want to create a GUI over HTTP, look into Java applets.
