I have found that there are 2 options as far as a GUI for perl on Windows is
concerned:
1. Perl/Tk (available from CPAN as Tk)
2. wxPerl (available from wxperl.org)
Tk is a decent enough GUI, but wxPerl (which is a Perl port of wxWindows)
provides a more Window(ish) feel to it, and provides a richer widget set.
