Tk is more complete and is better documented ("Learning Perl/Tk"). I
think Win32::GUI is still fairly new and does not support some of the
features of Tk. Win32::GUI is also unstable in certain areas. The latest
version 4?? broke some of my code.
As for look and feel I think Tk looks just fine. I like the fact that
I can run the same code up on my Sun workstation.
I'll probably come back and visit Win32::GUI in 1/2 year to see how it
has matured.
