You can create a program using Win32::GUI then create a Windows executable
with Active State perlapp, or with PAR, and it won't be necessary to have
perl installed on the target machine.
WXPerl has some advantages, but Win32::GUI has a cleaner syntax, it creates
interfaces which are better accessible from the keyboard, and the .exe file
created is smaller.

Subject: Re: Do it with Perl or not
the biggest consideration will be that every machine that runs your
program will have to have Perl (Activestate Perl for windows)
installed on that machine since it will (presumably) be an interpreted
script rather than a compiled, stand-alone program. you will also
need tcl-tk or whatever gui-capable language you choose to use
installed on each machine (or available for linking from some common
server, if that type of linkage is even possible in Perl.)
other alternatives are possible, such as running the program on a
X-based server and having each machine log in via some X-forwarding
program and run your program remotely; the program will appear to be
running on the user's machine while actually running on a remote
server.
since you don't detail your situation at all, it's hard to give more
than general advice, but for a windows environment it may be advisable
to use a more windows-centric solution, assuming the different flavors
of windows will allow the options/languages you have available.
ultimately a compiled, statically linked program that does not rely on
any external libraries may be your best option.
others with better, broader understanding of what's available may have
better suggestions.

Hi list,
This my situation I love Perl, and I need to create a GUI program for a
school, but this is my problem:
- In the school all machines are under Windows (different versions). -
So I don`t know what to do, I must to code the program with Perl or i
will have to use other language.
Please help me to take a decision.
Regards and good weekend.
