Well, there's Tk, Gtk2, Wx, and maybe Qt (but I don't know if there's a well-maintained binding). Tk is the classic Perl GUI toolkit, but it doesn't look very modern (I've seen some extensions that help, but people still seem to want to move to "more modern" GUI toolkits). Gtk2 seems to be a pretty good toolkit, and I'd encourage you to dig into those installation problems a bit more, but since you're asking about alternatives, my main suggestion would be Citrus Perl, http://www.citrusperl.com/, which comes Wx ready-to-go.
