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

Hi

I would like to build a perl Tk itegrated developmnet environment (IDE) which will be similar to the microsoft visual basic development environment.
This environment will however run on a linux platform.
I'm not yet sure in which language to build it, but i would like to do it in perl.
As you may know, in the visual basic environment, you can drag, resize and change parameters of the "widgets", and i would like to create a similar thing, and this is where i would like to hear your suggestions.
What would be the best way to create widgets and "play around" with their parameters in a main window ?
I thought of 2 ways, but i found flaws in both of them.
I don't want to list them, since i would rather let you guys express your creativity :-)
Thanks !

    Don't forget to look at Prima

      Prima is nice, but it isn't Tk!

      Speaking of Prima - do you know of a demo which shows the entire collection of widgets? I have another Windows/Linux GUI project coming up and I was thinking of trying Prima.
