   yes, well.. at least a basic one.
  
   Download: ftp://ftp.wh.whoi.edu/pub/gb109.zip

   Here is the README I sent out a little while back...

   This is my Win32::GUI Builder (gb) build 109.  The previous version
   was 0.01 (decided to go to a build number).  

   What's new since v0.01:

   - More Objects (Status Bar, RichEdit, ListView and TreeView).

   - Basic Image support (Can drag a BMP around and size it).

   - Added more options to Button property (they don't work yet).  :)
     If this looks like a good way to go, I can do this to other objects and
     start adding the hooks.

   - Started adding options for what is saved when you write out the GUI
     design (this is found on the preferences screen).  It doesn't work
     (don't use it), but it will give you an idea of what I'm trying
     to do.  Any comments are welcome.


  Things that were fixed:

    The newer version of Win32::GUI fixed the display problem with text.

    The black draw problem (which was a memory problem) has been fixed -
    I might have sent out this patch in an earlier message (anyway, it
    is now fixed).

  
  Basic Setup and Use (same as before if you used v0.01):

     Install Win32::API (if you haven't already)
     You will also need Win32::API

     Unzip 'zip' file in an empty directory.  Open a DOS Window and type:

            perl gb

     The "GUI Builder" window should come to life.  

     Click File->New In the "Window Properties" Window change what you like
     then click "OK".  The "Name:" field contain the variable associated
     with the window (ie. $Win).
     When you click "OK" a blank design window appears.  
     Click on one of the objects from the toolbar and it's related property
     window will appear.  Fill in the text when appropriate and click OK.
     Move the mouse over into the design area to place the object.
     Right Clicking the object will bring up a menu.
     
     Working with a group of objects:

       Left click and hold down in an open area to the top left of a group
       of objects.  Drag the mouse down to the bottom right of the group of
       objects - a red box will appear around the objects.  There are now
       several things you can do with the objects by right clicking in the
       red box.  If you left click, hold down and drag in the red box, you
       can move the objects around on the screen.  Clicking outside the red
       box cancels the select mode.

  Known Bugs:

     Click of Death - Occasionally clicking in the design area will cause
     gb do die completely (make sure the autosave feature is turned on).

     A started playing with a list of recently opened files to appear under
     the 'File' menu, but I haven't finished the code so it may not work
     remember all the files that it should.
