</div>Why not? Writing user-friendly GUIs in *any* language is hard work,<br>
and I think it is actually easier in dynamic languages than in say C++. :)<br>
<br>
At ActiveState we write all GUIs for Perl tools with Tkx (a binding to<br>
Tcl/Tk), which produces native GUIs for Windows, OS X and X-Windows,<br>
and I know others are pretty happy with wxPerl as cross-platform GUI<br>
toolkit as well.<br>
<br>
As for Tkx, I think the Perl-Critic GUI frontend included in the Perl<br>
Dev Kit looks pretty cool ( you can download a free trial if you want<br>
to try it out yourself, or just a demo on YouTube here:<br>

<br>
But anyways, what is the reason you think GUIs and Perl don't mix?<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
