how about still use sockets (or pipes), but instead of establishing a communication between different programs on different boxes uning local displays, communicate between different programs on a single local box using remote displays? I mean, if your current version is somewhat like

box1:select(@handles_from_boxes) and do_logic()
box2:tk-interface.pl: connect to box1, create windows and buttons,

then I propose to do this instead:

box1: for ( @boxes) {
     $ENV{DISPLAY} = $_;
     system "tk-interface.pl";
}
select(@handles_from_boxes) and do_logic()

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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
