[MacPerl] Mac Windows

[Robert Ward <r.ward@bangor.ac.uk>]

I didn't get any response on this the last time I posted, so let me
rephrase things.

I'd like to have MacPerl create a window and draw pictures in it. I'd like
to have MacPerl control the interaction between user and window (eg, draw a
line when a key is pressed). Is there a module or other set of techniques
for this? For instance, the GD module might be helpful for drawing in a
window, but CPAN says it doesn't work with MacPerl.

I am trying to do this now with xcmds, but without reliable results so far.
For example, I call an xcmd that puts up a window, sets the port, draws,
and then restores the original port.  This is ok, except that when control
passes from the xcmd back to macperl, the window is put in the background.
I'd like to keep the window in the foreground for further interaction with
the user.
