I've been working on a larger app for the past few months and I've
found wxPerl very stable. For the few things lacking there are
workarounds, and Mattia is always very obliging should you be faced
with serious trouble.

I've developed an app in Perl/Tk as well (www.uploadaway.com), and I
have to say that I find wxWindows far better in performance and looks.
The familiarity of the native GUIs helps users accept the app more
readily also.

I'm working on one too and using the STC control, i.e. scintilla as the
editor. You can download the current preview version for Windows here
and take a look:

http://www.wordit.com/prima
(Btw, the website was generated by the app)

It will be commercial too, but if you want to work together on the HTML
functions I'm open to that. I have a testing version, and we could
probably create a little open source editor as a by product?

You mean WYSIWYG?
