Are there good GUI builder for Perl GUI libraries, especially for WxPerl?

A:
There is The GUI Loft for Win32::GUI, but of course it's not portable off of Win32.

Of the GUI editors that I have tried briefly, wxGlade seems the most natural to use, but it still doesn't seem to have the "drag and drop" functionality that I grew to love when working with Java in Eclipse or Netbeans. Don't get me wrong, I love Perl, but would still really like to see a nice WYSIWYG GUI editor.

I would recommend simply using web-based interfaces for everything. If you went with this approach, you could even run a local (i.e. on a Desktop) web server for "standalone" applications.
In like manner, ActiveState decided to focus on Web-based development instead of continuing work on their GUI editor

In many cases this approach will work. As rich AJAX widget sets become available, this works even better. However, sometimes you really need a normal, GUI app. The downvoters are missing the point that this is a valid approach to building app interfaces, and has been for years.

http://www.perl.com/lpt/a/884 - shows a flash based GUI with a perl backend. Communication via HTTP. This http://www.chrisdolan.net/yapcna2006/shrinkwrap.html shows a method using PAR and SOAP to build apps, with the GUI written in whatever toolset makes sense to the developer.
