Dear monks,

I'm writing my first GUI app using wxglade. I'm trying to come up with a sensible MVC-ish architecture.

The way wxglade works is that you can define handlers for events, e.g., a button is pressed, and a subroutine \&handle_button_press (or whatever) is called. In the wxglade interface you can specify the name of the handler, and then when you generate gui code, a stub for the handler is generated as well.

I can imagine the end result being an enormous file with gui code plus lots of stubs I am supposed to fill in in the same file. This seems spaghetti-ish (and not very MVC).

I figured the following could work: I do this code generation thing as wxglade wants me to, then I delete all the handler stubs, and instead write an AUTOLOAD sub that, using $AUTOLOAD calls something like $Model->update( '-message' => $AUTOLOAD ), were the $Model in turn calls $self->notify_listeners( '-message' => $AUTOLOAD ).

I'm wondering if I'm on the right track with this or whether I'm missing something obvious.

Thanks!
