Using Rev as a multiplatform GUI to control perl and shell scripts -- or is Tcl/tk better?

[Pierre Sahores]

Hi Ben,

The best way is to pipe all the needed perl or any other kind of
scripting languages you would have to use. See, as an example, how i'm
accessing the psql command line client (PostgreSQL) and just tune the
script below by replacing my code by yours :

>    put "psql -h localhost projecoles -U postgres" into PgPath
>    put shell("echo" && quote & "select * from etablist order by
etab0011" && quote && "|" && PgPath) into AccPpx

Bests, Pierre
