wxPerl ====== - looks like the window manager of the O.S. (e.g. on Win32 it looks like the standard windows applications, so no look or functionality problems) - relatively "hard" to program (it is strongly OO) - on win32 its dll is 1250K + (it has to "wrap" the instructions to bind the API of the WM) - multiplatform (soon also on Mac OS X) - young (not wx library that is 10 yeras old) but it's growing up and it is developed by a IMHO great programmer, Mattia Barbon. - not so well documented - perl2exe is not working so well with wxPerl, perlapp ok Perl/Tk ======= - it has its own look and feel - well documented (a book) and supported (a newsgroup) - mature software - multiplatform - on win32 its dll is around 500K (plus other dll for widgets) - both perl2exe and perlapp work well with Perl/Tk If you need multiplatform you can look at Prima that is a GUI with its own look and feel, multiplatform, 2d design and animation oriented, with a lot of widgets. If you're programming on Win32 you could look at Win32::GUI, that works only on Win32 but it is light because use Win32 GUI API "directly".
