"A browser window is not sufficient when a GUI requires constant live communication with the Perl program."

False. Front end using web sockets or pushing/pulling JSON from a perl back end, updating the GUI in real time. This is incredibly common.

"And you could even install a web server package."

My web perl framework of choice (Mojolicious) ships with everything needed to develop and run, including a web server.

"But you said you didn't want to install anything extra, so..."

Quote where I wrote this?

"Anyway, can you imagine a paint software or a stock chart viewer where live data communication is required, and your perl program fetches the data and has to display it live on the screen? I don't know how that would work"

Well, we've been round this loop a few times, you're not particularly knowledgeable and push back against any suggestions regarding modern software or development methods.
