Hi!

I'm writing a simple batch process that performs a quite slow job using Perl in Windows. As always, it is a command line that requires a pair of files (a list and a template) to generate an output log while it interacts with another system.

The user wants an app with a window where he could type/select the required and the output files and control the status during the integration process. Which could be the best, fast and/or simple way to add a GUI to this script? Should I use WxPerl, Perl-Tk or whatever in my script or write wrapper using either them or any other language in Visual Studio?

I've never wrote a GUI for a script, so I want to do it simple... I don't have much time to learn a bunch of rules, may be just to modify some simple example.

Thank you!
