20. Are there any other ways to create X interfaces from perl?

Yes. A short list would have to mention:

For perl 4:
WAFE, STDWIN
For perl 5:
Sx (uses Athena & Xlib), Motif (uses Motif & Xt), Fresco (post X11R6)
There is also Malcolm Beattie's Tkperl (which is largely incompatible with perl/Tk).

Further information on X interfaces to Perl is provided in the perl FAQ.

SGI folk may be interested in the OpenGL Perl Module (Sun folk too - if you have "mesaGL" installed).

For perl generation of GIF images see the question in this FAQ on graphics modules.
