Hi, Something that "might" help. (meaning It certainly won't ;)

I wrote a Spreadsheet engine last year. It's basically a grid without GUI. It 
does most of what is needed to have a full blow SS and it has hooks for 
adding data grid capability. The data grid is not implemented yet but I read 
in the documentation (because I don't really remember) that it should not be 
more than a handfull of functions (but I am an optimist).  The module should 
handle writting the data back to the DB when the user changes them.

There is a little GUI example using Prima. It's primitive.

Check:
http://search.cpan.org/~nkh/Spreadsheet-Perl-0.07/Perl.pm

There 3 ways to go from here:

1/ dump this silly idea

2/ you're on your own, good luck

3/We do this together, you fix the GUI part and I fix the grid part based on 
your input.

Cheers, Nadim.

PS: after reading the doc it seems that I also hoped that some web genius 
would someday add a web based interface. Maybe this sounds more appealing to 
you than a GTK interface.
