My advice is to go with GTK. Some reasons (in no particular order) are:
- it's simple enough (though probably not as simple as Tk)
- it's written in C (wx and Qt are C++, Tk is Tcl I believe)
- it's cross-platform (though not sure how the new Mac OS X Quartz port is coming along -- you may still have to use X11 on OS X for a while yet if you want to run on OS X)
- it's the standard toolkit for Gnome (as Qt is for KDE and also for future Nokia MeeGo-based smartphones)
- lots of apps use it
- it seems to be the most popular choice among Perlers (though, maybe neck-and-neck with Tk), so you should be able to get enough help from the community if necessary
- the Perl bindings look pretty well-maintained
- GTK GUI's look nice enough (I'm not a proponent of trying to make your GUI look native on every platform)
- good licensing (LGPL)

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.
