Perl CGI Drag n Drop

Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi Perl Coders,

I am grateful to anyone who can tell me if its possible to create drag n drop functionality within Perl. I know there are multiple GUI libraries out there, ie. Qt, Tk, wxWidget, etc., but wanted to ask first before hunting, if anyone knows if it is possible and also in particularl, whether it is possible within a Perl CGI script, ie. from within the cgi-bin, on Linux.

Many thanks.:slight_smile:

drag-and-drop in CGI is completely unrelated to Qt, TK, and TuxWidget, since it's going to of necessity going to end up being pure HTML.

If you can do it in HTML, you can do it in CGI Perl.

Thanks for quick reply corona. :):slight_smile:

Can I ask how I would go about doing so in CGI.

Thanks.

Again, it's an HTML thing. Make your Perl -- or shell, C, ruby, PHP, or whatever else code print the correct HTML. The base of it happens client-side, in javascript.
