title: Perl GUI programming on Windows
body: <p>I'm looking for tools for Perl GUI programming on Windows for educational/in-house development, mostly science related.</p>
  
  <p>My first choice was PerlQt. A friend of mine was developing with Qt and C++ so I expected getting some help from him. Also Qt has a GUI creator and Linux has nice integration with Perl. 
  Unfortunately, I failed to make it work on Windows.
  I searched for other options and am still not clear after search. This is what I've got so far. </p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Perl/Tk: broad user base, good documentation, relatively low learning
  curve. But old look and may not be active. Yet some articles say it is rebooted now and has native look.</li>
  <li>wxPerl: native look. But steep learning curve. Not all wx library is ported to Perl. Some like it and some hate it.</li>
  <li>Win32:GUI: native look, can use all Windows API. Needed force install because one of the tests was failed. Still works but not sure it was installed correctly.</li>
  <li>XUL::GUI: using FireFox engine, CSS typing.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>I could managed to install them and succeeded to show "Hello, world". Yet, I can't decide which one to go and the online information sometimes looks contradict each other.</p>
  
  <p>Would you compare the tools in terms of human efficiency (easy to read and write codes), computational efficiency and the availability of GUI builder?</p>
