 I have always wondered, but havent looked too hard, is it possible to
write windows native applications that use windows elements using
perl? I haven't done any windows programming for 10+ years (last time
was with visual c1.52 with Win95) but if it is possible to do in perl
I would like to give it a shot.

See Win32::GUI, and also Win32::GUI::XMLBuilder.

Every twenty-four hours about 34k children die from the effects of poverty.
Meanwhile, the latest estimate is that 2800 people died on 9/11, so it's like
that image, that ghastly, grey-billowing, double-barrelled fall, repeated
twelve times every day. Full of children. [Iain Banks] ben@morrow.me.uk

Hi,

Search on CPAN for Win32 and you'll probably find what you're looking for.
