I do GUI Perl programming for Windows, using Win32::GUI. It's not exactly easy, but it's not too bad either; most problems can be solved given sufficient STFW time. I do sometimes feel that the time spent solving GUI problems is chewing up the time saved by going to CPAN for the core logic, though, which would be my number one complaint about Perl.
Number two complaint -- threading. I have to write sequentially, because forking uses so much memory and threading just doesn't.

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.
