Given that your perl script builds an independant gtk application,
it's probably fine in perl. That said, there are gtk bindings for lisp
and it would be interesting to try writing this program using that.
The only advantage I see is that you could just pass the frames
directly to the gtk thread instead of parsing them into perl's native
data structures. Either way, it's a pretty neat program!

I agree, there are some formatting issues that make it a little funky to read.
