Borland's Kylix certainly works on Linux.  Don't know about Mac OSX
though.

I've been doing a lot recently with the Perl bindings for Gtk.  The
Glade GUI builder allows you to build your user interface without
writing code and the Perl Gtk2::GladeXML library lets you associate
events from the UI with methods in your Perl classes.  It's a nice clean
separation that allows you to safely go back and revise the interface or
the code.
