Re: Most portable way of GUI programming?

Why not make it a cgi? TK and Win32::GUI are great, don't get me wrong, but a cgi will allow you to make the code truly cross-platform. You can do buttons, lists, checkboxes, whatever you need, and you won't have to worry about a rewrite if you have to port it to another OS. Plus, you don't need to install any CPAN modules to put it on a new machine, as I recall, CGI.pm comes standard.

...areas where custom graphics (some kind of collapsable trees) could be drawn.

A CGI really doesn't solves this problem, does it?

And maybe you don't need to install CPAN modules, but you might have to install a webserver.

You have a point, but it's fairly easy to write a server in Perl.
Popfile is a good example. Personally, when it makes sense for the application (No canvases, etc), I prefer the CGI approach.
