Personally, I would use a good editor, one that allows for programmable macros. Many vi-clones and certainly emacs do. Here's a macro I use (using the editor vile): 
18 store-macro
   save-file
   shell-command &cat "/opt/perl/bin/perl -wc " $cfilname
~endm

[download]
It saves my current buffer, then runs perl -wc on the file, displaying the output. I can bind that to any keystroke I want. (Or, if I were kinky enough to use the mouse aware xvile, to a button or menu-item)

Parsing the output of perl -wc (even with Perl if you want to, many vi-clones can have a Perl compiler/interpreter linked in) and positioning the cursor on the line of the first error would be a not to hard, logical extension.

I certainly wouldn't want to cook up a Tk kludge, and edit in something else than my favourite editor.
