--============_-1235561758==_ma============ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" ; format="flowed" I'm writing a restaurant cash register application running under Linux that I want to use in our Yoshi's Restaurants. So far, I've written the number crunching portion in Perl, which uses DBI to interact with MySQL; works great so far, though at present it is a command line based program. The next step is to create a GUI that makes it easy to use; ultimately I think I want a touch screen set up or possibly some kind of keypad based system for data entry. I haven't done any GUI programming yet, apart from some simple stuff on Macs using MacPerl. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should be thinking about using for the front end? A text-type GUI should be sufficient. I've read about curses and am looking into it. Also thought about using a browser with PHP, but I think there would be too many potential problems with that set up. Thanks!
