Anybody know if you can use Project Builder to build GUIs for Perl programs? If not, anybody have any suggestions?

I'm pretty sure (never tried it, just heard) that you can use Tk from Perl the same you would on any *Nix. You probably need to get hold of Tk first, though.

It won't look as good as a real Cocoa program, but neither does XToolkit.

You could at least build a user interface in cocoa, which wraps a command line perl tool. Add the perl tool to the bundle and noone ever sees (at least most people) that there is a perl engine underneath.

TK and Tkinter have not been ported to Mac OS X (yet), which makes life difficult than it should be. All I need is a user interface for Perl and Python so I'll try cocoa. Thanks!

Tk works to a certain extent on OS X if you use XFree86 for a frontend.

To create a frontend to a perl program, as has been suggested before, you need to basically wrap it like any other commandline tool. I'd suggest investigating NSPipe, which has been discussed on these forums before.
