Or am I better off doing it by hand? Yes, by far, you are better off learning to do it by hand. Why? Because you will learn how the GUI toolkit actually works, the GUI designer throws you a fish, instead of teaching you how to fish. :-) Learning the intricacies of a GUI designer takes as long as learning the basics manually.

If I did my research I might find out what a "gui designer" is -- besides an artistically skilled person -- but none of the effort you've shown encourages me to do your work for you. See On asking for help,How do I post a question effectively? and I know what I mean. Why don't you?.	[reply]

As for me wxwidgets is interesting as gui to perl. it more compatible to OS design(use design from OS GUI, has more candy options), but for me this choise is bad because I can't find fully analog for canvas widget from TK. this module compatible with windows and unix(I try one function in old times).

there were many attempts to create GUI designer, and I do not know of any succeeded one. There are some good designers for Tk (but not perl/Tk), such as vtcl, but this requires using different approach to Tk.	[reply]

FWIW, I used to use specPerl, which was based on specTCL. But now I usually just copy and paste code in from older scripts and modify as needed. Unfortunately, GUI development is one of Perl's weaknesses. Elda Taluta; Sarks Sark; Ark Arks	[reply]
