The problem is quite simple: I just would like to know some names of Perl modules to create dialog boxes in Windows.

    You could try Tk, Win32::GUI or wxPerl which all are capable of doing dialog boxes in Windows (among all kinds of other GUI stuff).

    Note: The modules suggested here are ordered alphabetically, to avoid a religious GUI-toolkit war. :-)

    I've no experience of the other two that t0mas mentioned - but I've used Tk and (NT4 / Win98) and found it quite easy to use. As long as the dialog boxes are not too complicated the speed is pretty good. Also with Tk you should be able (if you need) to get the code to run under Linux without much trouble.

    There is a O'Reilly Perl/Tk book as well that is good at getting you started - for more complicated things you'll need to use the Tk documentation.

    If you are using the ActiveState distribution on Windows then their HTML documentation is good although you will probably want a tutorial/introduction as well. Perhaps look at this tutorial which seems fairly comprehensive?
