I use GUI builders from time to time.
I beleive any GUI builder makes quite good by helping user, but you must not require from it doing things that it was not designed to do...

As long as Perl does not have its own native GUI builder, I used workarounds.

Earlier I had a technique to use C++ Builder to design GUI and call Perl from C code (number of small scripts as shortcuts, embedded Perl and nothing more compilcated)

Now I use a technique of using VTCL and invoking it from Perl using Tcl::Tk module.
I described this earlier, please see it at A technique to create GUI design for Perl application using vtcl

I advice latter one as a way to go...

Courage, the Cowardly Dog

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
