I'm creating an application to control specific devices over the web via a PC. I originally created the application using HTML & IE 4.0+ as the front-end GUI and a localhost Perl server for the back end. It worked great but was confusing to the users, confusing to install, slow to load, and dependant on the user's IE settings, amoung other issues. I'm re-writing the application as a single Perl application using Win32::GUI as the front-end user interface.

        I need help with the machanics of various Win32::GUI things such as, how to set the background color of a window, how to let user select a file on their PC using the standard windows file browse window (maybe done in Win32::API), etc. I'm fairly good with Perl, but also need help there too.

        Able to pay $25/hour to someone to guide me over the phone/email/in person. Person needs to know Win32::GUI, Win32::API, and Perl. It would not be a lot of hours, maybe 1 to 2 hours per week, here and there. Possible we can trade this help for online marketing/sales help from me for your project, as that's an area in which I have successful experience with.
