If I understand you correctly, you want to create software which both
uses Perl and which has a bitmapped user interface (e.g. X11, that which
you see on a Windows / Mac desktop). You can do this with Perl, using a
variety of toolkits. I'd personally recommend Gtk2
( http://gtk2-perl.sf.net ) because of its portability. You can use it
on Unix systems (including all of the popular ones) and Windows. Others
will recommend other toolkits, I'm sure. The best way to find what works
best for you is to try them.
