Re^2: Accessible GUI Applications in Perl

[smiffy]

Thanks for this valuable insight. You have confirmed for me that Wx is probably the right Perl/GUI route for me to pursue. If it works with JAWS on Windows, it certainly should work with other ATs, as they would all be using the same MS accessibility API.

I am very interested to that Java/SWING isn't as accessible as is perhaps made out. It would be so nice if it transpired that it was easier to code accessible GUI applications in Perl than in Java. (Market penetration would still be an issue - most computers ship with a JVM, but I haven't seen too many non-UNIX systems that ship with Perl :-(

If you are talking about Windows machines then talk to Adam Kennedy and tell him you want Portable Chocolate Perl now!

That should already include Wx out of the box so it will be easy to add you application. Then you zip it up again and distribute that to your clients.
