I saw a Python app using the Wx libraries at BSDCon and was very impressed by it's use of the native Aqua widget set under OSX , where it used the native widgets if it could. 'twas very sweet. I'd imagine that the perl wrappers would be just as sweet, given that the functionality all stems from the underlying library. R.

Seconded. All mu GUI work at present is in Perl/Tk; I develop on Linux, but the Windows users seem happy with it. Roger

WxWindows does indeed work well - exactly the same code will produce reasonable native-looking apps on both platforms. I haven't had a chance to try it on the Mac - last time I looked into this, I really wanted cross-platform abilities between all 3, but certainly for Unix and Windows, it's the best I've come across. If you're getting into serious app development, there's also a commercial forms designer, wxDesigner (29 euro for a student licence, 129 for a single normal user licence, crippled demo available), which I've heard good things about. It can output the perl/python/c code for a designed application directly. > Also does the ActiveState stuff allow you to do native windows programs > in perl? There are various Win32:: modules, most of which are present in the default Activestate distro. For creating GUI stuff, look at Win32::GUI http://search.cpan.org/author/ACALPINI/Win32-GUI-0.0.558/docs/methods.pod I can't find any useful form designing tools for this, though, so building a professional-looking app is probably a matter of trial and error with regards to control placement on the window.
