Tk can feel a little clunky, but is well-documented - there's the official documentation, plus almost two decades worth of mailing list discussions, newsgroup threads, blog posts, PerlMonks nodes and so forth. There are plenty of other GUI toolkits for Perl though.

Wx is probably the most aesthetically pleasing (in my opinion), but it can be a pain to build, especially on Windows. If you use Wx, you should also take a look at FBP::Perl.

Prima builds is quick and reliable to install on a variety of platforms. It's certainly worth considering.

There's also Gtk, Gtk2, Gtk3, Qt, Win32::GUI, IUP, FLTK...
