If erasei's comments above haven't made you go with the web (and his points are excellent), then I would highly recommend Tk.
I've been doing gui programming since the early days of X (and actually before that in curses). Tk is my favorite gui toolkit by far.
I started using Tk when it was part of Tcl. But, the toolkit really shines in Perl. It is very flexible, powerful and expressive. And if it doesn't do what you want, it is easy to extend. Like Perl it makes simple things easy, and hard things possible.
It would recommend the 2 O'Reilly books on Tk to start with. And if you get stuck, there are a lot of people here to answer questions.

BTW, with a few minor hiccups, I've found that Tk works well on Windows platforms, not just on unix.
