ActivePerl 822 and Windows GUI look/feel | Re: ActivePerl 822 and Windows GUI look/feel
I've mucked around with wxPerl for a while some time back. It's a good 
platform if you're keen to code in Perl. Documentation is not likely to 
be in wxPerl format, but it'll be quite compatible.

Your biggest challenge will be that you will experience a fairly steep 
learning curve. After that, life is good. Your contribution to the 
documentation will be very helpful.
