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
