I have a similar need. I have gtk-perl code on Linux I'd like to port to Windows. (BTW, gtk in perl is soooo much easier than gtk in C.) Based on answers to my queries on the gtk-perl list, gtk-perl is really not usable on Win32 at this time. Gtk+ 2.0 is out and Win32 binaries should be out in April. Someone asked the gtk-perl list about generating the perl interface for *nix for 2.0 already.

I am not sure why the Windows gtk-perl is not progressing except perhaps that the interest is from programmers without lots of Win32 programming experience. I count myself among that group (24 years of *nix C/C++ programming, but I have only done major Win32 stuff with Perl...).

drewbie's suggestion of wxWindows is likely the best bet. I was hoping for a Gtk+ port to Win32, but may have to learn wxWindows.

HTH, --traveler.
