While I haven't any experience with Win32::GUI,
I've used Perl/Tk successfully for this exact problem.
The key methods are
getOpenFile
and
getSaveFile
Here's a short example:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use Tk 8.0;
use strict;
my $mw = MainWindow->new( -title => 'File Test' );
my $menu_bar = $mw->Menu;
$mw->configure( -menu => $menu_bar );
my $file_mb = $menu_bar->cascade( -label => '~File', -tearoff => 0 );
$file_mb->command( -label => 'Open', -underline => 0, -command => \&f_
+open );
$file_mb->command( -label => 'Save', -underline => 0, -command => \&f_
+save );
$file_mb->separator;
$file_mb->command( -label => 'Exit', -underline => 1, -command => sub{
+exit} );
MainLoop;
sub f_open {
my $filename = $mw->getOpenFile( -title => 'Open File:',
-defaultextension => '.txt', -initialdir => '.' );
### do something with $filename
warn "Opened $filename\n";
}
sub f_save {
my $filename = $mw->getSaveFile( -title => 'Save File:',
-defaultextension => '.txt', -initialdir => '.' );
### do something with $filename
warn "Saved $filename\n";
}
#
Note that
Question 16.2. - Is there a file selector?
of the (somewhat stale) Perl/Tk FAQ lists several alternatives.
Which, if any, of these is what got built into the Tk of ActiveState Perl, I don't know...

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).
