(GUI) Windows Programming FAQ is really badly out of date.
Judging by a comparison of the info at gtk.org, if would be counterproductive to use it except for links to GUI sites.

Maybe you'd like to respond to the FAQ detailing how.

I forgot to mention this:
the GUI must run on Windows (2000,XP,2003), Solaris, HPUX and in near future on Linux.
So, from this point, Gtk is not a very good choice (it's hard to compile and run from a CD/DVD on Windows)
Wx and Prima looks nice, I'll give them a try
Some issues that I'm afraid of (because I get them in TK) are:
- GUI that froze during procesing databases in the background - in Java the process can be launched on a separate thread (I know that this can be solved using threads in perl, but I'm not sure how well it's working on Windows).
- Tree view of file system (like Tk::DirTree that is buggy)
