i've used tk module (which comes with most perls nowadays) and packaged into executable with par. then u have to change the "mode" of the executable to windows, rather than a console app. the only drawback is that the packaged exe, as it starts up, shows a console window for a second, as it copies something to the tmp directory. the end result was good though, and tk is a well known gui toolkit (for use with or without perl) that is worth learning.
