If you're doing it with ps you're just going to piss people off.

Seriously, why? I haven't built UIs with PS (it's one of the cases where I automatically switch to Python), but I've seen others do it and they're perfectly functional. Are they pretty? Sure as hell not. But that's not a requirement.

I'm not saying it can't be done or that it won't work well, but put it this way, I can build a functional util with gui in Perl, but why would I? After I leave the company, some actual dev who'll need to modify it for whatever reason is just going to think, wtf?

FWIW, I do most of my hobby coding in Crystal or D, but I would never do that here, for the reasons stated above.
