traveler said Gtk...Windows support is in "alpha" more or less. If you have a compiler, the instructions are in the archives of the gtk perl list.

I'm not sure this is where a beginning perl programmer should go. Key words in this opinion are 'alpha" and "compiler" (in the Windows world, anyhow. Compliling happens all the time and is free on Linux and other OSS).

If Activestate has the full Tk stuff for their Win2k build, which it looks like they do from looking at activestate , (though I don't see the overall Tk.pm for the 800 builds), I think that's the way to go, at least over Gtk. I haven't experience with the WxPerl thing, however.

If you do go with the Tk solution, you'll want a copy of "Mastering Perl/Tk". It has stuff that can be pretty tough to track down otherwise.
