Perl/Tk is simple to use; however, when you have many elements in the window, it becomes rather difficult (IMO) to arrange them perfectly. Maybe there is something I am missing, but for complicated interfaces, Perl/Tk is not the way to go.
On the other hand, if you just need to get a simple clean interface together, the development time for Perl/Tk for those types of apps is very short.

what would you suggest for more complicated interfaces?
I'm not actualy using this for anything, I'm just curious as to how it could be done.

I'm not that experienced to know, but I would imagine that it would be someting like GTK or something. Anybody else know?

Besides that, the CPAN has a directory devoted to User Interfaces. I've seen Gtk used quite effectively, with a minimum of code, and Tk is also popular. | [reply] |
Last I heard GTk hadn't been ported to Win32 - so Tk is still the only way to go if cross-platform is important to you.

GTK has indeed been ported to Windows; see this link. I don't know if anyone's written Perl bindings for GTK on Windows, though. Tk is definitely the safest way to go cross-platform.

You might check into Perl/Tk. It is rumored to be effective
and easy to use...

I would use GTK. From what I have done with it in C it is very slick and straight forward. I don't see it being to hard to do it in PERL. If you are going to create menus on a web page, my suggestion would be to use JavaScript to create that.
