Hello to all. :-)

Just setting the stage for SAL here on CPAN::Forum, so here's a quick introduction from the SAL documentation:

SAL is library for building multi-platform tools (shell, desktop, web). It's primary purpose is to allow for rapid development of business reporting tools. As with Perl, it's flexible enough to be used in a wide variety of environments, and for all kinds of needs.

SAL-proper IS NOT an application framework, although some tinkering has gone on in that neck of the woods. (SAL::Kernel and SAL::VFS are still on the drawing board, but GUI widgets and SDL integration will probably be coming first.)
