Lincoln was definitely one of the behind-the-scenes heroes for many years. I haven't been watching the perl space for many years now. Did the GUI tools ever get any better? It's a shame that so many interesting languages end up in the same kinds of backwaters were it's nigh on impossible to create attractive (native-ish) GUI applications.

There were Wx bindings at some point, bindings into Cocoa, but as a strong Perl developer who uses a Mac -- and was once pretty handy with Tk -- and would check back every year or so, nothing ever really seemed to stick or be easy to set up.
