I have a question about Perl. I have often heard that Perl is as powerfull as a programmer language like C++ and can do most operations and sometimes even better. I was wondering if anybody has ever written a graphical display interface showing drawed lines and objects and ability to query those objects in Perl. Because so far I don't have seen any graphical applications of Perl besides of the GUI module Tk which is something else.

Sorry about the confusion. I did not mean GUI interface but a CAM interface like somebody so nicely said below. I want to make some simple CAM interface showing certain objects on the screen in the form of lines and pads. See example below : 

# PKG 24
PKG 5SMX 0 -0.02 -0.03 0.02 0.03
CT
OB -0.01 -0.03 I
OS -0.02 -0.02
OS -0.02 0.03
OS 0.02 0.03
OS 0.02 -0.03
OS -0.01 -0.03
OE
CE

The sample above would have to show an object which has a certain name and which existing out of a combination of lines. A closed polygon.
