So ... (and sorry for getting all gui designer specific) what's needed
is a dialog designer written in perl that gets 80% of things right so
you can fix the other 20% to meet your own needs. The thing is, once one
has attained the level of basic competence that allows one to make a
reasonable job of writing such a thing - one has probably lost a lot of
the incentive to do so. I'm just going to attempt to get the ball
rolling by shoving something out that does stuff the way I want it to.

With regard to your WxPerl::Declares section, the main attraction to me
 is getting named accessors for your child controls /menus /toolbars
etc. I think I'd consider something a touch more verbose involving
Class::Accessor::Fast. As it stands, the syntax does look very inaccessible.

Good luck with it.
