I read this as an endorsement of Gtk2 for perl GUIs. Is that correct? At this point I am getting very frustrated with Tk, and I am very interested in other options.

You say that it isn't easy to use Gtk on windows. What are the problems with windows? It looks like there is a PPM archive. So, while building your own code might be painful, are there any gotchas with using the "official" binaries?

How hard is it to port from Tk to Gtk2? Are there any good porting guides? I found one for going from GTK to Gtk2.
