I am doing some similar development, although just on the mac for
now. After digging for days trying to find an appropriate front-end
solution (Perl/Wish/Tk, HTML) I took a look at the GUI toolbox
section (1) of the excellent MacPerl Power and Ease book on the web.
I found this to be the perfect solution for development on the mac
and, simply by setting up the front end code in it's own module, I
hope to be able to offer different front end modules for Win and *nix
(probably using Perl/Tk).
