DESCRIPTION

Gapp brings the post-modern feel of Moose to Gtk2-Perl applications.

The primary goal of Gapp is to make Perl 5 GUI programming easier and less tedious. With Gapp you can to think more about what you want to do and less about choreographing widgets or keeping them (and your data) up to date.

Gapp applicationss maintain a consistent look and feel without the need to hand -configure every widget. Gapp effectively separates GUI design from application logic and data structures, while keeping your widgets and data up-to-date.

New to Gapp?

The best place to start is the Gapp::Manual.
