Before you write off glade completely, consider the components:

 1. Glade the GUI - which you apparently dislike
 2. .glade - the XML file format which contains form definitions
 3. Gtk2::GladeXML - the library which reads .glade files, instantiates
    the relevant widgets and connects them up to the appropriate code

> From your description, it sounds like you're going to need at least a
file format and a library for instantiating forms from the files.  So
perhaps the only bit you're missing is a tool for creating form
definitions in a way that works for you and generates .glade files.
