These days i've played a lot with Gtk2 ... I remember i said some time ago, that i didn't like to program GUIs, because of the tedious and you must write an enourmous program for getting what you want ...
I think, i was no fully right then, because learning is anything but tedious (curiosity needs to eat ... whatever you feed) ...
That is, Gtk2 for perl, is like an adventure for me and I suppose I will be charmed by this Library during a long time from now... But, like love, it will turn tedious soon.

So i'm thinking in the next stage: how can I automate this task?
I mean, there is any tool (like Glade) for linux to generate perl code, or even better to generate XML code (Something like XUL, or the resources used by C#) which can be compiled and interpreted for generate widgets? ... Some of you, my ($fellowship, $brothers), knows how to do this task with an impartial tool (linux, windows)?

It would be funny, to implement some perl platform independent library (i've heard that GTK2 is supported under windows) for build GUIS using a simple XML spec on the fly; if it not exists.
and
to program an ide (platform independent tool) for generating this XML :-) (something like, extending the mason tags for make widgets) (uff, i've remembered that there is a tool called entity to do the first task (from XML to Code), ... but i never used)

some ideas?, thoughts?, some voluntaries to make a crazy tool for doing this task?

At the moment, this weekend i swear i'll study the Gtk2 specs ...

Cheers
