I've mucked around with wxPerl for a while some time back. It's a good platform if you're keen to code in Perl. Documentation is not likely to be in wxPerl format, but it'll be quite compatible.
Your biggest challenge will be that you will experience a fairly steep learning curve. After that, life is good. Your contribution to the documentation will be very helpful.
