The perl code for now is really ugly and most likely full of bugs. Before I release any other versions I plan on cleaning it up before it gets any longer.
I tried this in windows and it works ok, except for a minor glitch using the GUI help menu. I got the following error (and no help showed up ):
Code:
E:\ebooks\Impfind\impfind-0.3>impfindGUI.pl
Searching through sub directories.
Tk::Error: bad option "-font": must be -default, -icon, -message, -parent, -title, or -type at C:/Perl/lib/Tk.pm line 320.
 Tk callback for tk_messageBox
 (menu invoke)
I have this version of perl installed on my WinXP computer:
Code:
This is perl, v5.8.8 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread
(with 50 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail)

One suggestion for your next release, allow at least one field to be (quick) sorted; with the user selecting which one.

Oh, in the GUI, usually clicking the 'column head' allows that column to be sort ascending; another click sort descending. Could that be easily implemented using Tk?

Great job. I posted Imp Librarian for windows a while back; you may want to look at it's features for your next release (or two )!
