Slightly off-topic, I think it's important to understand that (IMHO) Perl is not a bells-and-whistles language. People who think VB is God's gift to anything will not (in general) be able to appreciate the strength and beauty of a proper tool.
As for PHBs, once they need a speedy solution to a serious problem, they'll thank God (and you). The GUIs can come later. I'm not saying it can't, or doesn't, happen differently, it's simply how I've seen it happen - a group of scripts grew in size and importance until it became important to supply an interface for the general public.

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.
