2005/1/16-17 [Computer/SW/Languages/Perl, Computer/SW/Languages/Web] UID:35734 Activity:high | 1/15 What's the easiest/best thing to use to quickly create small GUI
tools/apps for Windows? (cross-platform ok too) Like the equivalent
of a perl script with a Windows GUI. Only for myself right now but
I need to decide what to invest my time learning. So it might as well
be cross platform if there's no big downside. I have hardly any
experience with GUIs. Thanks.

2004/3/24 [Computer/SW/Languages/Web] UID:12831 Activity:nil | 3/24 I'm being asked convert a simple ASP script from IIS to Apache.
The script is written in VB and all it does is echo back the cookies and
query string params of the HTTP request, along with a hardcoded body.
What's the easiest way to write something to do the same thing using
Apache. Ideas or pointers to sample code is appreciated.
\_ I think you'll need a scriptng language along with Apache.

and I need it to stop a program that can only be terminated by

hype machine; .Net strategy an entirely unimplemented joke. C#
combines the worst parts of C++ and Java; MS showing definite signs
of embracing VB as their primary development language. Thousands

I need to write a VB program to run a bunch of dos commands
and report the results to the user. If I had a choice, I would
use perl, python, tcl, bash, or something like that, but I need
to create a program that will run a standard windows system. Thanks.

to store the patterns and awk's $3 ~ /(AAA|BBB|CCC)/ ... I realize
I can do this with "egrep -f " and use regexp instead of strings, but
