NAME 

VB - Visual Builder for the Prima toolkit

DESCRIPTION 

Visual Builder is a RAD-style suite for designing forms under the Prima toolkit. It provides rich set of perl-composed widgets, whose can be inserted into a form by simple actions. The form can be stored in a file and loaded by either user program or a simple wrapper, "utils/fmview.pl"; the form can be also stored as a valid perl program.

A form file typically has .fm extension, an can be loaded by using Prima::VB::VBLoader module. The following example is the only content of "fmview.pl":

        use Prima qw(Application VB::VBLoader);
        my $ret = Prima::VBLoad( $ARGV[0] );
        die "$@\n" unless $ret;
        $ret-> execute;

and is usually sufficient for executing a form file.
