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!
Darryl Tang
