For something very simple and cross platform, you might consider using zenity:

This may start a holy war but it may be easier to learn python than perl

    Thanks Kevin ... Since I don't know Perl (and I don't know what
    either "Wx" or "Tk" is),  I'd be glad to pay someone to build
    this for me.  Might you be interested?  Or, if not, where could
    I look to find someone to build this?

    Any takers please reply either on list or off list:
