I think perl is a different language to python and you have to implement 
functions on a different way. I wouldn't suffer about 900 kb more, people 
with x-servers should have enough space for it.

I have made up a program which I distribute with gtkperl so the user don't 
have to install gtkperl on their system. It is only 700 kbs (packed with 
gzip) and it doesn't need any gtk library either.

CU,
