When I had to choose I preferred the look and feel of Win32::GUI but the documentation concerns raised in the other posts are valid. This is not to detract from Aldo's work. A Perl wrapper for the win32 API is a Herculean task to undertake.

On a related note: over a year ago I wrote a Perl program to convert Delphi/C++Builder Forms to Win32::GUI templates. This allows you to use Delphi or C++Builder to design Win32::GUI clients.

I am not upgrading or maintaining this anymore but if anyone is interested in using it or extending it they can find it here. It could probably be modified to support TK so that there was Yet Another Client Designer. ;-)
