Please consider also that a GUI interface is important and the only good one in Perl I know is the Tk module. I already know a good advantage of Visual Basic
Take a look at wxperl. It's a good alternative to tk, and uses native widgets across its supported platforms. Although I'm not sure what you mean by "supported by Microsoft Applications", but I've been able to program Outlook clients, Excel spreadsheets, and Win32 process monitors in perl, and (in the case of outlook) perl's win32 bindings made the task easier than VB.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
