You can still use Perl.

http://search.cpan.org/dist/Device-SerialPort/ will let you control
devices attached to an RS232 port.

http://search.cpan.org/dist/Device-USB/ will let you control devices
attached via USB.

For the GUI, Tk is the old standby (http://search.cpan.org/dist/Tk/)
but you can also use Wx if you prefer
(http://search.cpan.org/dist/Wx/).

It would be easily understandable if someone became so annoyed at all
these false notions that for the rest of his life he despised and
mocked all talk about being - but in this way he would be deprived of
the truth of existence and would suffer a great loss. -- Socrates
