Hello,

I've been setting up a new installation on my laptop and just finished getting CPAN going. I am now trying to decide on what gui toolkit to install. I have used Gtk2 in the past and know Gtk3 has been around for a bit, so I decided to do some searching on the differences. Most of what I have found seems to be several years old though, so I am just wondering what peoples opinion on Gtk2 vs Gtk3 are when it comes to perl. Also, while searching I have started to wonder about wxPerl. Portability is not an issue for me as my programs are only going to be run on my machine. Any input on what people use and why would be helpful.

Thank you.
