I have a module that makes exactly same approach at using GUI!
It was developed at my work and I am using in a whole bunch in my utilities - I just specify predefined array, which declares parameters, and - all is ready!

If then my script is fed by --g, it shows GUI for entering any of arguments, with handy explanations on the left, and this is really convenient, because I have supported several types of arguments: boolean becomes checkbox on GUI, choise is either dropdown box or just list to select a vaule, also I have a file/directory selection (either input or output) and just string for any other parameter

Also, it supports drag-n-drop of files and directories too, so you could drop a file from file manager into the input box.

I can show more details, if there are any interest.

Tk module uses is Tcl::Tk, which is really better than perl/Tk, due to many reasons - I switched long ago from per/Tk and never looked back.
