Popping up XUL content from Perl would indeed be cool,
if the project were far enough along to be available via
PPM (in ActiveState Perl) and CPAN (other platforms),
and if installing that package (either the PPM or the
CPAN package) would be adequate without separately
installing other stuff. (Not that Mozilla isn't needed
on every computer anyway, but that's a separate issue.)
It's a very cool idea, certainly...
But developing on it would mean working in heinous
languages like C++, and I have no interest in doing
that. A wrapper around existing modules, however,
like I was talking about, could be done all in Perl,
and while it would be a huge stretch for me (I have
not yet written a module of any complexity in Perl...)
and I couldn't do it alone and would probably end up
with no more than a proof of concept before handing
it off, it nevertheless interests me to some extent.
for(unpack("C*",'GGGG?GGGG?O__\?WccW?{GCw?Wcc{?Wcc~?Wcc{?~cc'
.'W?')){$j=$_-63;++$a;for$p(0..7){$h[$p][$a]=$j%2;$j/=2}}for$
p(0..7){for$a(1..45){$_=($h[$p-1][$a])?'#':' ';print}print$/}

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
