Here's my 2 cents, having a bit of experience doing GUI programming, using databases, and doing web-dev both with and without MVC frameworks.

Don't bother! MVC is popular for the web because it makes a certain amount of sense -- you have a database, AND you have server-side scripts that generate "static" pages, which makes the View/Controller distinction somewhat more meaningful.

But what you are talking about is a single GUI program that provides access to a database. Keep looking around if you want, but, particularly if you have not done any GUI work before, you already have enough to learn. Perl/Tk works well, and looks nice if you add some color, etc. Here's a perl/Tk project I wrote a while back:

http://tkcodex.sf.net

If you want an idea of how Tk stuff comes out. I have not used perl/Gtk, but it is probably also good. Recently I wrote an app using Curses::UI, which is not truly "graphical", but it has the advantage of running via ssh and the API is nice and easy.

You can/should keep the "MVP" pattern in mind, but I think you are asking for a headache looking for a formal framework. The first thing I would do if I were you would be to create an SQlite address book which you can access and modify using your choosen GUI module, which might take you an afternoon. This will get you used to the API, etc, etc, before you jump in and start on what is important.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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.
