chorg, if you are stuck on Windows, and you don't want your users to be too disoriented with the look of your interface, then Win32::GUI is the best pick.

On the other hand, I found that Win32::GUI lacks documentation, which makes it harder to program with, at least for me...

Tk although not as pretty looking as Win32::GUI, provides tons of widgets and is far more better documented and much more portable than a Win32::GUI program.

Also, there are some GUI designers for Tk (specperl is the one I use when I have to), though they aren't really easy to use, after some time you get used to them and they take of the burden of having to define every widget by hand.
I'm not aware if such tools are available for Win32, but if you find the specifications of the .frx files (VB forms ) you could probably use VB (or any M$ application for that matter) to create a Win32::GUI layout.
