In MacPerl, you can do MacPerl::Ask() to bring up a dialog with OK and
Cancel, and in Mac::Carbon -- a port of many of the MacPerl modules to Mac
OS X -- on Mac OS X, you can do the exact same thing.
% perl -le 'use MacPerl "Answer"; print Answer("Can you click OK?", "OK",
"Cancel") ? "yes" : "no";'
The same code works under MacPerl and, if you have Mac::Carbon installed,
Mac OS X. You don't need Tk for basic GUI things like this. See "man
MacPerl" for more information (or cmd-click "MacPerl" in the MacPerl editor
if you are running that app).
