tewfik has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Is there a Perl/Tk Integrated Development Environment (IDE) out there? Something that could create windows using a visual editor like in VB or VC++ using MFC. Thanks

    It sounds like what you are looking for is a GUI builder in particluar. The only one I know of for Perl/Tk is specPerl, a perl backend for specTcl, a nice GUI Builder for Tcl/Tk. SpecPerl can be downloaded from http://www.keck.ucsf.edu/~kvale/specperl.html

    The closest thing I've seen to VB implemented in Perl is Prima There is a script called VB.pl in the Prima/VB directory of it's source code. It works!! You can setup a visual script just like in VB; however, the code is very bloated, and slow. As of now, it just demonstrates a "proof of concept". It sure would be a nice program if it was make to produce leaner code. The other drawback is you need to have the Prima module installed to make it's programs run.

    With Gtk2.0 you can use glade to generate XML that you can read from Gtk::GladeXML. But this is not Perl/Tk and it only takes care of the API.
