in reply to How visual perl can be?

The short answer is to investigate Perl/Tk. Try super-searching PerlMonks for "perl tk". You'd be opening up a whole new ball of wax, beyond perl alone, but you can build GUI's with it.

Not for nothing, I prefer getting creative building apps with CGI and Javascript. You can't do everything VB can do on the user's (client) machine, but who would want to? :)
