Hello, i've just started learning perl, and i need to write a program with a graphical interface. Can this be done in perl ? because so far i've only ran into textual programs ...
Thx.

Johan.
 
See the 'Tk' module. It provides the GUI widgets to build nearly anything you want.

I'd also suggest getting a copy of 'Learning Perl/Tk' by Nancy Walsh and published by O'Reilly (of course).

'hope this helps
