I have no experience with win32 gui programming in perl, but there are some cross-platform toolkits I've used that work on windows too:

Tk is good, has probably the most documentation of all the GUI toolkits for perl and it's cross-platform. It doesn't really look "window-like", though.

wxPerl is crossplatform too, but looks and behaves much more like a native platform GUI. The docs are a bit sparse, so you'll need to translate a lot from the C++ API docs to Perl if you want to do anything special.

Gtk and Gtk2 I haven't tried to use in years, so I'm not sure what their status is (or even if they run on windows). SDL is nice if you want moving graphics and sounds.
