There are several GUIs that you can use:

Win32::GUI
very easy to program, it uses the Win32 API, so the GUI has the look and feel of Windows.
It works only for Win32 platforms

Tk
easy to program, it is multiplatform (*nix, Windows), well documented (there is also an excellent book: Mastering Perl/Tk by O'Reilly), but it has its own look and feel

Wx
Object Oriented, it is multiplatform but has the look and feel of the WM used by the OS (so on Windows it looks like Win32::GUI)

Prima
multiplatform GUI with its own look and feel, useful expecially with 2D graphics


To made an exe from the script, you have 4 ways, 2 commercials and 2 open source:

1) perl2exe by Indigostar

2) perlapp by Activestate (part of the Perl Development Kit)

are 2 excellents tools that made your script an executable program (for Win32 and some *nix). They are mature products with pros and cons.

3)rd way is PAR an open source packer, that will merge soon with

4) App::Packer, the 2nd open source way to do Perl executables

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• 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.
