Dear Monks,

I must confess that I am not a good friend of GUIs. Programming them are tedious and boring (without any ``IDE''). I like very much command line interface, and those hard-to-remember-unix-flavored options...

Indeed, destiny is ironic, and now, I'm Writting an application that must have a Graphical User Interface, of course i've choose to make it in perl.
So for now I'm wondering what perl module can be my best election (I need a simple background image, a progress bar, and some text).

My app, its a very simple one, so i'm considering to use the Xlibs to create a window and paint over there my image ... my problem is that xlibs do not have the appropiate 'progress bar widget', so i must mix it with some other module/toolkit/library ... definitely, a little bit nasty thing ...

Fellow PerlMongers, i would appreciate your oppinions, conseils, recommendations, etc ... for doing this task
Thanks in advance

turo

PD: i do not discard ncurses :-P, but i think that is an bizarre thing to put an image on the background

perl -Te 'print map { chr((ord)-((10,20,2,7)[$i++])) } split //,"turo"'
