Perl Carbon/Cocoa Bindings on Mac OS X?

gigawattwarlock asks: "As an almost new Mac OS X user (I've been adminning my wife's Mac for a while now), I am used to writing Perl scripts for her Mac, which work just fine. Simply put, I have become spoiled with the GTk bindings for Perl on Linux. I love being able to use and abuse a robust GUI, quickly and easily. And to make matters worse, I find the Aqua interface near addictive ... enough so that the idea of installing another desktop environment (KDE, Gnome, et. al) just seems a little silly, and a bit of overkill, to me. Does anyone know if there are any perl bindings in the works for Mac OS X or maybe even an already existent alternative graphical library or interface within Mac OS X?"

You, my friend, do not belong at slashdot. Just because someone ported a kernel and some low-level tools to the Wintel platform, it doesn't mean that it comes with:
Drivers
a GUI
Carbon support
Cocoa support
Framework support
OS 8.6+ support

or anything else that comes with OS X. In other words, you can't run, say, iTunes in Darwin for Intel/AMD. I would hope that the Slashdot community would know that a kernel is not all that an operating system is. You, obviously, cannot tell the difference.
This would be analogous to say, building a house. Suppose you could make a foundation for a house in a flat, grassy area and build a house on it. This would be OS X. Now, let's say that you could take a barrel of concrete and pour it down a sheer cliff. This sloppy, messy, incoherent splatter would be Darwin for Intel/AMD. Yes, it would be concrete, and yes, it might even mold itself into a semblance of a foundation. BUT , you cannot build a full-fledged house on a sheer cliff with a small, globular, spattered foundation that may not even be in one specific area!
