Many of these questions are a tad vague.

There are several GUI toolkits for Perl, including one specifically targetted at Win 32: Win32::GUI, Tk, Qt, Wx, and it wouldn't surprise me if gtk were available on Windows as well.

Suggested google.com search "win32 GUI applications perl".

For licensing questions, you'd have to refer to ActiveState and the toolkit developers. Perl Monks are not qualified to give legal advice. :) But do look at Active State's Community License, it looks fairly friendly to me.

Distribution can be as easy as making clients download and install Perl (a good thing-- then they'll be able to use my scripts, too *grin*) and showing them how to set up a shortcut that launches your script. Unless something has changed, I haven't heard too many good things about trying to compile complex Perl apps into Windows stand-alone applications.
