Hi,

Some people are talking about Webapps but that is not really the same thing like a GUI App.

On cross-platform you don't have to rely on Wx, you can also use Qt or Gtk+ if you don't want to use Tk or others.

Gtk or Qt are easy to learn, and have good Perl libs. You can do fast GUI prototyping using a application like glade or qt-designer, for the later.

If you have a apps where you want/will have a remote db that will do the serialization of data, you can also use some of these, but you can also think about using some Webapps framework that has good AJAX bindings (like Catalyst), because using AJAX you can get the feel that it is really a interactive apps without the need of reloading and sending forms in a button like way... you know. ;-)

Another approach would be to use XUL, is also cross-platform and you have access to all that Gecko can provide you...

I was thinking about that there should be a good Tutorial or a Book about writing GUIs with Perl, and TOC could be:

Perl GUI Programming

If someone will/would do this and need people, I would be available to contribute...
