I'm trying to decide which approach to use to add a GUI to my application. <br>
The app works really well and uses the Perl Expect module on Unix (as there is no Perl Expect on Win32 it has to reside on Unix). <br>
I want a simple GUI that looks at a number of database tables and allows me to query, add, delete and update against each one. I'm trying to work out which is the fastest way to get this built.
<br>
There seems to be a certain amount of overhead using Tk creating accessors and widgets. Is there an automated way within Perl where you can just point an app at a table and have it create a basic GUI for you?
<br>
I've been looking at JDeveloper and using it via Oracle's Business Components 4 Java to automatically create all the classes for me and then perhaps using perl Java.pm or Inline Java to call the Perl Expect code from the GUI.
<br>
Can anyone share their experience of doing something similar?
<br>
I'm just trying to avoid all the GUI creation grunt work.
