+=head2 How can I make a GUI (Graphical User Interface) with Perl?
+
+There are a number of options, all available from your CPAN
+mirror.
+
+For a cross platform GUI, there exist:
+B<Tk> (of Tcl/Tk fame) is the most common and is provided as
+standard under ActivePerl (available for Windows);
+B<wxPerl> (the L<Wx> module) gives access to wxWindows;
+B<Gtk> (known as L<Gtk-Perl> on CPAN) does the same for the
+Gnome ToolKit;
+B<PerlQt> gives access to Qt.
+
+Under Mac OS X, you can write Cocoa programs in Perl using
+the CamelBones library. See http://camelbones.sf.net/ for
+details.
+
+Not really graphical, there is the Curses library, available
+from CPAN, which gives you pseudo graphical elements in a
+terminal.
+
+A popular, very cross platform interface is that of a web
+page. Your program can even embed a web server by using a
+module such as HTTP::Daemon or POE::Component::Server::HTTP.
