Sure. Any particular GUI you had in mind? An what kind of "testing"? Do you want to emulate keystrokes and mouse events? Do you just want to throws random signals at a GUI or application and see how well it traps things? Or do you have something else in mind? Pretty much anything is possible; here are some places to start: http://search.cpan.org/modlist/User_Interfaces will give you an idea of which GUIs get the most use, although the list is far from comprehensive. Note, though, that MS Windows and OS X Aqua interfaces are documented elsewhere For windows you might want to look at http://search.cpan.org/~teverett/Win32-CtrlGUI-0.30/Win32/CtrlGUI.pm and, of course, good ol' Win32::OLE. For OS X, see Mac::Carbon, Mac::AppleEvents, Mac::Glue and Sherm Pendley's CamelBones project, depending on what exactly you want to do. Nothing, though, beats just putting specific search terms into search.cpan.org.
