I do not think so, but am not 100% sure.  You may want to try the
Win32::GUI::Grid module as it offers lot more flexibility:

I have not, but I know if can be done from things I have heard.  There
may be a few inconsistencies though.  Check Sourceforge for
amphetadesk(sp?).  I believe the creator of this program has implimented
a skinnable interface, but am not 100% sure.

Yep, but ONLY if you downloaded the source or ppd file and installed.
The stuff on the ActiveState repository is like 3-4 years old.  Go to
Sourceforge and get the latest version.  Open shell:

1) cd to the folder where Win32-GUI.ppd is located after you have
unziped the download file
2) type ppm install Win32-GUI.ppd

Now, you are good to go.  I would also suggest getting the sources from
Sourceforge also so that you have access to the example programs
pre-written for you.
