ActivePerl 822 and Windows GUI look/feel

RE: Getting Mime::Lite working on Windows | Re: ActivePerl 822 and Windows GUI look/feel
activeperl:

I am attempting to build a GUI application on XP using ActivePerl 822.
It is required that I use/ configure widgets that match the look and
feel of native Win32 controls (exactly, or very nearly so).  I've played
with several GUI toolkit/ framework choices:

	Tk
	Win32::GUI
	Prima
	Wx

Of the four, Tk seems to be the best documented and the defacto standard
for Perl GUI development.  Both of these factors are also very
important. Also, at some point in the future, the code may be ported to
Unix, Linux, *BSD, Mac, etc., which pretty much rules out Win32::GUI (as
I understand it).


After choosing Tk, I've prototyped some code with windows, menus,
labels, edit boxes, and combo boxes.  I immediately ran into problems
with combo boxes.  I've tried the following Perl/Tk widgets, but have
been unable to match native Win32 look and/ or feel:

	BrowseEntry
	JBrowseEntry
	JComboBox


I am hoping that there is an Perl/Tk widget supported by ActivePerl that
I can configure and/or tweak to mimic a Win32 combo box precisely.


Any suggestions?


TIA,

David
