[aklug] perl gui question?

What's the current recommended gui toolkit for a perl beginner to be able to quickly put
to practical use?

Background:

I use a tool call cssh (clusterssh) to administrate a lot of boxes at one time. The
cssh 'clusters' (groups of machines that can be all ssh'ed into at one time) are
enumerated in an /etc/clusters file, one cluster per line. I'm comfortable with calling
it from the shell, but my colleagues are more comfortable with nice selection boxes.

This seems as good a way as any to dip a toe into the gui programming thing.

What I'd like to be able to do is have the program draw a list box composed of those
clusters in /etc/clusters. My colleagues can then select one or more than one entry,
click [ok] and the program then calls up cssh <selections> and exits.

Most of google seems to point to perl/tk, but most of those posting are also many years
old, so I'm wondering if that's still the way to go, or there's something better.

Thanks!

Nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure
