Try Tkx.

Tkx is what ActiveState use for the PerlApp interface. I think Tkx is an excellent alternative to Tk. It's cleaner and prettier and the porting is relatively easy. The problem is that few other people are using it. If you have a problem implementing something, you have to either read the Tk manual and figure out the conversion, read the Tcl manual and figure out the conversion, or just test...test...test.

Win32::GUI

It's best to use Win32::GUI instead. There's less documentation than for Tk, but the end result looks a lot better.

Making Perl TK look modern

I've developed a short program in Perl/Tk but can't help thinking it looked outdated.

Is there anyway to make the buttons, tabs and other widgets look like the default OS ones, such as XP?

Just wondering! Thanks.
