Perl was never intended to do that -- perl programs generally rely on
the presence of a browser to handle user interfaces.
Python, on the other hand does have several GUI toolkits available.

If you want to be portable across platforms, a graphics toolkit will
necessarily not support all Microsoft Windows features, but rather
those features common to all windows-based GUIs.
The Java toolkits are more mature at this point. Java came with the
basic widgets from the get-go, and later on these were integrated
into a more programmer-friendly toolkit called Swing, which I
personally liked, and seemed to offer just about everything that
Windows offered.
