in reply to Re^3: Gtk2 + GladeXML
in thread Best GUI package for Perl ?

What you propose is rewriting GladeXML but using perl instead of xml for interface description.
I fail to see what's the advantage of writing
<child> <widget class="GtkTextView" id="text1"> <property name="visible">True</property> <property name="can_focus">True</property> <property name="editable">True</property> <property name="justification">GTK_JUSTIFY_LEFT</propert +y> <property name="wrap_mode">GTK_WRAP_WORD</property> <property name="cursor_visible">True</property> </widget> </child>
instead
$parent->TextView( Name => "text1", -visible => 1, -editable => 1, -justification => "left", -wrap_mode => "word", -cursor_visible => 1, );
And where are those tools that would allow drawing GUI with your proprietary perl interface?
Tcl/Tk was written to make it easy to write GUIs with just a text editor, and Perl/Tk is comparable. Some people may not be comfortable with this approach, but some are.

    The advantage lies in the fact that only perl can parse Perl.
