Gtk, Tk, and Curses::Widgets will let you create a graphical interface, the later being text based. But if you have no good reason to use them other than being "sick of text screens" your program isn't going to be much more useful and unless you plan on translating the text into heiroglphics (sp?) it's probably going to look pretty much the same. There are plenty of good reasons for using a graphical user interface, but moving the text from a console to a window isn't one of them IMO.
