Hi. After my last message, ive learnt the basics of perl/Tk and its structure. One part that I cant figure out is... My original perl script took a text file and analysed each line individually, and worked through to the end of the file. Id like to emulate this with a perl/tk gui by using a "scrolled" text area which the user cuts and pastes data into. Then presses a calculate button which then runs the perl script. I then want the text area to be reset and updated to show the results of the calculations. Could someone give me a hand in how to understand what is required?!? Thanks very very much!

Hi Ive written a PERL script and want a simple GUI for it. Ive started doing it in HTML and hoped to be able to cut and paste data in, press calculate and then be presented with the findings. How do i get data from a html forms text box, into my perl script?? Ive searched the web put everyone wants to use cgi. This wouldnt work without a web server would it? Thanks!!
