There are quite a lot of GUI modules, most of them are cross-platform. Here comes a non-exhaustive list :

Tk Is by far the most common. It's a bit rough at the edges, but does the job.
Tcl::Tk is nearly identical to Tk, but somewhat faster. Why both exist is beyond my understanding though...
Gtk is the perl interface to GTK1 libraries. It's nicer than Tk, but harder to get running on Windows and MacOS X.
Gtk2 is the perl interface to the GTK2 library. It's very nice, but has the same problem than Gtk of course.
QT is the perl interface to the Tolltech QT C++ toolkit. It's pretty nice and equivalent to Gtk2.
wxPerl is the interface to the wxWidgets toolkit. wxWidget is a very cool library with a native look-and-feel on all platforms : windows, OS X, X11/Motif or X11/Gtk. It's a bit difficult to install and evolves rapidly, though it's a bit difficult to get on.
Tk::Zinc is a special beast : it's somewhat based upon Tk but it has great OpenGL capabilities and is very good looking, and fast. Try it!
There are platform-dependant wrappers too, like the Win32::Gui (the name says it all), CamelBones Obj-C wrapper for Mac OSX/Cocoa, etc.

Well that's all I think of at the moment, friends. If you want go the easy way, choose Tk; if you want something good-looking and very cross-platform, check wxPerl; if you need something graphically powerful Tk::Zinc is the best choice IMHO.
