Actually, since all The GUI Loft does is _building_ the window for you, 
replacing existing window-creating code with The GUI Loft Designs is really 
straightforward:

Create a Design with exactly the same controls and control names, comment 
out the existing code and replace it with the window-building code for the 
.gld file. Voila, you're done. Everything else that has to do with 
Win32::GUI remains the same (except that you don't have to do resizing and 
TabStrips manually unless you want to).

I did that with The GUI Loft application itself and it worked out just 
fine. If it's worth the effort when you already have a working solution is 
another matter :)

I can imagine that TGL Designs are more maintainable and easy to 
change/redesign than a bunch of $window->AddControl() statements.
