Hello,
  I need to write a app for windoz. I have only used perl
on a Unix/Linux platform before. I don't want to use perl
to make the windoz app, do to the lack to a perl interpretor 
on most windoz boxen.
  So, i have been fooling around with Visual Basic...
This language is not nearly as elegant as PERL, and
some of the concepts just seem like allot of work compared
to the the same concept in PERL. So I was thinking of
maybe trying Visual C++. I have seen allot of C code
and, it looks easier and more logical. 
 To get to the point, I have already spent a week playing with VB
and I don't want to waste anymore time learning VB if I can
come further and faster using visual C++.... So for someone
with mostly just PERL exp. , what would be the most similar 
language in concepts and syntax (to PERL), that will allow me to make
GUI apps for windoz.

Thanks,
JD
