I’ve been around Visual Basic for years in high school, and I’ve grown up

  • 0

I’ve been around Visual Basic for years in high school, and I’ve grown up with the IDE supplied by Microsoft. It’d wonderful, but the educational and “working-model” editions of VB available to me through school don’t allow me to redistribute software, as part of the EULA with Microsoft.

I instead find myself working in perl to design programs for friends and family, and it works fairly well, but I don’t have a firm grasp on building user interfaces yet. I understand I could design user-interfaces with tcl/tk for perl, but the notion of coding all of that by hand is a bit daunting to me. That brings me to my question.

Do you have any suggestions for a tool I could use that would allow me to build GUIs for my perl programs?

Thanks in advance!

    In addition to what tsee suggested, you can have a look at :
    Perl/Qt (using Qtdesigner) and Perl::GladeXML (using Glade)

    With Glade and Qtdesigner, you can generate a XML file that will describe your user interface and it will be a matter of hooking your perl code to widget’s events.
