[perl-win32-gui-users] GUI and Console in the same application?

[Craig N. <sas...@gm...>]

Hi, I'm having some trouble with getting an idea I have (that I think will
work) actually implemented in Perl.



I work at a job that has me connecting to various systems all over the place
with the command prompt (Win32 environment). I also have a rather large
collection of scripts, batch files, and commands that I use frequently on
the systems I connect to. What I'm trying to do is to reduce some of the
repetitive tasks while working on these systems.



I want to have a command prompt that basically has a toolbar of sorts
associated with it, which will have buttons for my most used
scripts/commands/etc, so that when I click on a button the information is
either pasted to the window, or the script launches in the background on the
appropriate system. I have tried researching this online via Google without
much luck. (Searching for things like wrapping command prompt, etc.)



I already have a Perl script that makes my connections for me, which I run
from a regular command prompt, and then the connection script backticks out
the remote console application. So I am either looking to add the
functionality to that script, or if I could get a command prompt wrapped
into a Perl window, I could add the connection script to it


Any suggestions or pointers of where I can look for more information?


Thanks!
