There are several GUIs that you can use:
Win32::GUI very easy to program, it uses the Win32 API, so the GUI has the look and feel of Windows. It works only for Win32 platforms Tk easy to program, it is multiplatform (*nix, Windows), well documented (there is also an excellent book: Mastering Perl/Tk by O'Reilly), but it has its own look and feel Wx Object Oriented, it is multiplatform but has the look and feel of the WM used by the OS (so on Windows it looks like Win32::GUI) Prima multiplatform GUI with its own look and feel, useful expecially with 2D graphics To made an exe from the script, you have 4 ways, 2 commercials and 2 open source: 1) perl2exe by Indigostar 2) perlapp by Activestate (part of the Perl Development Kit) are 2 excellents tools that made your script an executable program (for Win32 and some *nix). They are mature products with pros and cons. 3)rd way is PAR an open source packer, that will merge soon with 4) App::Packer, the 2nd open source way to do Perl executables
