Something to look at is "TGL" which is a windows(only) way to design
windows in Perl interactivley very much like VB let syou do and it
separates the GUI from the Perl.
Its free, and is pretty good.  I've created very large apps with this.
See TGL(The GUI Loft) and Perl Oasis

I am currently the maintainer to Oasis and have many fixes and
enhancements on it soon.

Thank you for replying.  :-)


I've been kicking this one around for many years, trying to find a good
GUI toolkit that is multiplatform, well designed/ documented, and
preferably Perl.  Along the way, I've made a couple of explorations of
C#, .NET, etc..  The recently free VCSEE 2005 and 2008 tools are
tempting lures, as are the many C#, .NET, CLR, WinForms, etc., books.
Unfortunately, very few M$ centric books tend to be of the caliber I
desire.  I am also leery of mono after experiencing other OSS
implementations of M$ technologies.  I do see the advantages of C#, but
Perl is still my preferred language.  My requirement for free/OSS
precludes ActiveState's Perl Development Kit and PerlNET.  It's a
tangled morass, with no clear winner.


Another idea for meeting my previously unstated need for a stand-alone
GUI application (e.g. no Internet connection) would be a self-contained
web application and server running on localhost.  I use WampServer for
Drupal testing, and it works very nicely.  It's been a few years since I
played with Apache/ *SQL/ Perl, but do recall that HTML controls were
very primitive and the end result was orders of magnitude slower than a
native GUI.  Are there better WWW controls for Apache/ Perl/ CGI/
mod_perl now?  Any thoughts on AJAX?


TIA,

David
