I never thought of GUI design as one of Perl's strengths.
For many Perl programmers the strengths are in the fields of log file analysis, database connectivity and dynamic web pages. And I haven't found any evidence for a decline in these areas, especially not in the first two. (I personally use Perl for nearly everything, but that's a different matter). GUIs fit very nicely in the object oriented paradigm (a window is an object, a button is a object etc.), and while supported by perl, it's certainly not it's strong field. So it doesn't surprise me when you say that other, object oriented languages have nicer, more up-to-date GUI bindings.
