Mike, we disagree.  While I think enough of GUIfied Perl
to maintain the authoritative FAQ for Perl/Tk, my view is
that there's no comparison with the breadth of toolkit
bindings Python offers.  PyQt, wxPython, ...  make for a
stronger effective range of choices than I see from any
other language, including C.
