I too do the vast majority of my Perl work from the command line, with the occasional Tk interface. It may just be an age thing as I'd much rather use punched cards - you can really feel your code then!

One thing that I've always liked about browsers (and not just for Perl either) is the free printing engine. You can fill in the input form, print that, press the button, and then print the output, and the preview is also handy. If you need those features, it's certainly not ideal, but it is faster and cheaper than rolling your own.
