[Kde-perl] Rendering HTML Forms

[Terrence Fleury (Terry)]

Hello all,

I'm asking this question here before I go and re-invent the wheel.

I'm looking for some (easy) way to take an HTML file with a <FORM> in it and
(a) render the file to a window and (b) extract the values out of the form
upon press of a button (for example when the user presses "SUBMIT", but not
necessarily to an HTTP server via POST, so no networking is required).  

I am trying to port over an application/library called Tk::HTML (written by
Nick Ing-Simmons) from PerlTk to PerlQt.  I use this library to render HTML
FORMs for configuration of software packages.  

I couldn't really find anything in Qt that fits my needs, and it doesn't
seem like KHTML is ported over to Perl yet (and I'm not really sure that
it would be the best solution anyway).  But are there any other solutions
available?  I'd like to try to reuse ANY code if something is out there.
Otherwise, I'm going to have to write an HTML/FORM renderer from scratch,
which I really don't want to do!

Any suggestions?  Thanks!
